The Day Dancer Flew

Key Selling Points
When a rainstorm brings flooding, a child has to leave her horse, Dancer, behind on the family farm, but she is determined to save him and rallies help from the community to get him airlifted to safety.
This story deals with the love and trust between horse and human, and what you'd do to save your animal companion's life. It also shows how frightening natural disasters can be, as well as the hope and strength in a community rallying together and helping each other out in dire times.
This is a fictionalized version of a true story that happened near Spences Bridge, BC, in November 2021; flooding cut off road access to a farm and the family's horse was airlifted to safety.
Unfortunately, weather-related emergencies are more and more prevalent in these times of climate change, leading to a demand for children's fiction centered on these types of events.
