Barn Horses Throw All-Night Party in New Children’s Book
by 12-Year-old Author!
12-year-old author Anaka Jones imagines the life of a herd of horses as they work, chow, play
and turn a farm into their own three-ring circus in “The Night Horses”!
PressReleaseLeader - March 13, 2013 - ANN ARBOR, Mich. – In “The Night Horses” (ISBN
1452882789), Anaka Jones creates a playful children’s book that imagines the secret lives of
barn horses who chatter, chow, play and work all while their owners are away. Though she is
only in sixth grade, Jones has produced a lively book that mixes reality and fantasy to showcase
the playful and humorous side of rural life. She invites readers to accompany her to a secret barn
party where these animals will play as hard as they work.
“The Night Horses” follows the animals’ daily lives. Each morning, the horse herd takes their
breakfast at the hay feeder. Mulling around, they exchange gossip and share their plans for the
day. There’s May, an old mare whose giddy-up spirit fuels her energetic personality. She wants
to challenge Cloud to a race even though she is three times his age. Frisco and Bella are an
inseparable married couple, and plenty of young foals timidly hide behind their mothers’ legs
amongst the group.
After a long day of work, the horses clean up, head to their stalls for dinner, and wait in the barn
until their owners head back to the house. With humans out of the picture, the horses get busy
creating their own rural night life, effectively turning the farm into their own little three-ring
circus.
The whimsical nature of Jones’ children’s book allows young readers to tap into their
imagination and picture what goes on inside the heads of the animals around them. A perfect
story for children who love animals, “The Night Horses” depicts the world of love and
companionship to be found among horses and humans.
“The Night Horses” is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
