Horse and Buggy on Ice

Reach for this book when your child is facing the 'first-day jitters' of a new hobby or feels discouraged because they aren't immediately perfect at a task. While the metadata provided mentions outlaws, this story is actually a lighthearted tale about a horse and a buggy who decide to try ice skating for the first time. It is a perfect choice for preschool and early elementary children who are learning to navigate the physical and emotional tumbles of growth. Through humor and silly illustrations, the book validates the fear of looking foolish while celebrating the resilience required to keep going. Parents will appreciate how it models a supportive friendship where both characters are equally vulnerable and encouraging, making it an excellent tool for building a growth mindset in young readers.
