“Andrea has created such a beautiful book for children who can enter the magical world of animals as Thunderstruck, a golden pony, and Pip, an engaging mouse, share with the reader their adventures together.
“I love the empathy between all the animals, which is such a gift for children to learn through the story, how animals can communicate, bringing out their nature, for instance, the wisdom of the owl.
“Andrea uses her imaginative skills to delight as the adventures flow onwards. For instance, Thunderstruck offers Pip an acorn cap to place on his head for safety before he takes a ride on his back.
“The illustrations are colourful and truly captivating. I really love the way they bring life to all the characters.
“I hope this is just the first of many new adventures with these animals, who already have a great friendship. Animals can teach us so much, and here the reader will feel the caring within the animal kingdom.
“Children will be guided to find connections within the natural world, opening their hearts to the loving hearts of the animal kingdom. —Jenny Rolfe, Classical Trainer/author/artist – living in UK
