Family with horses in a natural setting

We're Writing a Children's Book!

Remember when we hatched those emus? The ones that knocked me down, stole treats, and made me look ridiculous on camera? Well, they inspired something special. A story about doing hard things, proving yourself, and never giving up, even when six-foot birds are mocking you.
