It's time for the annual race to decide who is the fastest horse in the valley. But when a problem comes up, one horse must decide which is more important: Winning the race? Or friendship?

John Atkinson has always maintained a child-like wonder with the natural world. All of the inspiration for his books comes from his profound fascination with Mother Nature and all of her magical mysteries. With this in mind, he has written five of what he calls "chapter books for young and inquisitive minds."
