‘Out in the bay where sailboats glide,

little horses drift and hide...' Beneath the waters of a calm bay, seahorses hide from predators, feed on shrimp and raise their young in gardens of sponge, coral, and grass. But when a storm destroys their habitat, they are left with nothing to eat and nowhere to hide. That is, until a Marine Biologist comes up with a clever invention to provide them with shelter and food while the natural environment recovers. The little horses have a new home where they can thrive! Soon, tiny horses are swimming and the hotel is overgrown with coral and grass.

Inspired by true events and including information about seahorses and the Seahorse Hotels Project, Little Horses is a conservation success story certain to inspire children to love and care for the natural world.

Reviews for Little Horses

“This is such a positive spin on how humans are working to save the environment and its creatures that it deserves a place in any library collection to support the environment and sustainability curriculum.” * Bottom Shelf and OZTLNet (Australian Teacher Librarian Network) * “This is a very special book that should be shared. In this story, humans are not responsible for the destruction of a habitat but instead, help to recover it. “Little Horses” could give hope to environmentally anxious primary school-aged children that, if we work together, we can preserve our wonderful world through conservation and habitat rehabilitation.” * StoryLinks *
