"The Adventures of MIss KItty - Finding a New Home" Available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble

This is the true story of Miss Kitty... a small young kitten who stowed away in Chris and Larry's horse trailer while on their way from their horse farm in Massachusetts to the Morgan Horse Grand National and World Champion Horse Show in Oklahoma City, an 1800-mile trip. Her daring attitude, self-confidence and trusting spirit leads her to a new life full of fun, love and happiness. The book is 26 pages including title pages, and includes 20 children friendly color illustrations of Miss Kitty's adventure after stowing away on the horse trailer. There are 1 to 3 sentences on each page related to the illustration. There are 2 photos of Miss Kitty: 1 at the end of the story and 1 on the back cover. We hope you enjoy reading Miss Kitty's story, and will share it with your friends and family. We anticipate that this is the first book in a series as we follow Miss Kitty's adventures. The second book is already in process – you'll have to wait to see what she's up to in her new home at Chrislar Horse Farm - what an adventure!

"The Adventures of MIss KItty - Finding a New Home" is available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
