"I Sea Horses, From Sky to Sea", children's picture book

Kids and adults will be entertained and educated by the fictional, magical marine adventure book about a herd of wild horses that transforms into seahorses. I Sea Horses™ Children's Book.

From the mother/daughter creators of Wild Heart Ranch comes this tale of how a herd of wild horses followed the light from a Star and entered the aquatic realm to become the first seahorses.

Pegasus, the leader of the herd, has had a bad dream - a vision in which his beloved herd will no longer be free to roam the land unfettered by fences and without human riders.

Acting on instinct, and in response to his dream, he leads his band of mares towards a new home - a home under the waves! There, the sea horses meet their Lucky Star, Marina, who offers a light to guide them in the dark waters.

In the tradition of Wild Heart's "No More Night Mares," the I Sea Horses story is designed to inspire young children to follow their dreams, and move beyond their fears into uncharted territory.

Excerpt from the children's storybook, 'I Sea Horses, From Sky to Sea':

"What do I see when I close my eyes at night?
Seahorses twinkling with a starfish light

The magical horses and their friends of the sea
Light up the night and take care of me!

A legend is told of how they came to be
These magical horses that light up the sea

A legend of sisters - the sea and the sky
Forgotten by many as time goes by."

"I Sea Horses From Sky to Sea" is written by Dawn Van Zant &
beautifully illustrated by her 18 year old daughter Callan Van Zant

How did sea horses come to exist? Could it be that horses on the land, threatened by men and searching for freedom, escaped to the sea?

I Sea Horses takes a magical glimpse into the origin of sea horses. With beautiful, evocative, dream-like illustrations, this is an imaginative, heart-warming story that will delight young and old alike.

Led by the young stallion Pegasus, and with the helped of a magical star, the herd goes to the depths of the sea to find peace, freedom and happiness. In the beginning, however, Pegasus encounters much resistance from the herd, for how is a horse, a creature without gills, to survive under the sea?

But Pegasus “told them his dream of things coming to be/When the land would change and they could no longer run free/He did not know when or even know why/But he felt he must turn to the sea or the sky.”

The story is written in lovely lyrical verses, but the language is pretty straight forward, making it easy for the younger child to understand. The language also has a serene, calming quality while stimulating the child’s imagination at the same time.

At the end of the book there is a section about Project Sea Horse and how people can help the survival of these exotic, fascinating, delicate creatures. Children can interact with this project’s website and even purchase the plush-toy, sea horse characters featured in the story.

A picture book that will enchant lovers of horses and sea horses, I Sea Horses comes highly recommended from this reviewer.

Interested readers can find this book online at Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Chapters , Wal-Mart and many independent online retailers:
