About This Book
Reach for this book when your child expresses a deep, nurturing desire to care for a pet or when they are navigating the responsibility of helping someone who cannot help themselves. This story follows Jasmine and her friend Tom as they find and rehabilitate an injured, abandoned foal while simultaneously managing the pressures of a visiting relative who doesn't share their love for animals. It is a perfect choice for young readers who are ready to move into more complex chapter books but still want a heart-centered story about compassion and justice. Through Jasmine's eyes, children see the grit and dedication required to be a true protector of the vulnerable. It balances the high stakes of animal rescue with the relatable tension of family expectations and the excitement of a neighborhood mystery.
