About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking questions about family members they have never met or when there is a long-standing disagreement within the extended family. It is an ideal bridge for discussing how love can exist even when families are divided by old grudges or different lifestyles. The story follows the Apple siblings as they uncover the secret history of how their parents from two feuding families fell in love. While set in a fantasy world of ponies, it touches deeply on themes of legacy, forgiveness, and the beauty of intermingling different family traditions. It offers a gentle way to explain that our history makes us who we are, even if that history includes some sadness or conflict. It is perfectly suited for children aged 4 to 8 who are beginning to explore their own identity through their family's past.
