Greening the Next Generation


Did you ever hear the tale of the wild horses that once fled capture and extinction at the hands of man by descending into the sea and changing form? Wild Heart Ranch Books would like to tell you and your child the story. Wild Heart Ranch founder and author Dawn Van Zant has integrated wildlife conservation into vividly illustrated children’s tales of action, adventure and bravery. Three such stories, I Sea Horses: From Sky To Sea, No More Nightmares: A Dream of Freedom and Bradford and the Journey to the Desert of Lop are presently in bookstores. Van Zant’s tales fictionalize, yet explain in easily understood and endearing terms, the hardship and demise of America’s wild horses. Bradford, a real young boy who suffered from the ravages of Ewing’s Sarcoma, goes on a fictional journey to seek out and save the wild Bactrian camel. Each of Van Zant’s stories ends with an outline of a related on-going conservation project, from Project Seahorse to the Wild Camel Protection Foundation. Available plush animals can also bring the main characters right to your children’s waiting arms. —Shauna Dineen
