A Horse Named Steve (Steve the Horse)

Product Information

In the sequel, he has to compete in a relay race with a turtle and a snail on his team, and learns the lesson that teamwork is more important than winning. With its hilarious text and illustrations, this one would make a fun read-aloud, and many outside-the-box children will understand Steve's desire to be fabulously different.

He straps the horn to his head, unicorn-style, and sets off to display his manifest exceptionality to the rest of the forest animals. Beyond that, I think it’s helpful to keep on top of what is going on in the industry in general, and it’s helpful to network. It was in the early process that we learned that Kids Can Press are part of the Corus family, and that Nelvana is as well. A laugh-out-loud tale of an endearingly self-absorbed horse who learns that there’s more than one way to blow your own horn!Meanwhile, other animals have been copying Steve by strapping things (a branch, a stone, an acorn, etc. This appears to be Kelly Collier's debut, so although I wouldn't describe it as a favorite, of the recent picture-books I have read, I do think it deserves praise. Accepting yourself for who you are and achieving inner confidence makes the perfect premise for a brand new and whimsical children’s picture book. The tale of the endearingly self-absorbed horse, “A Horse Named Steve” was released in 2017 by Canadian independent children’s publisher Kids Can Press, which celebrates its 50 th anniversary this year. Perfect book for parent's to read out loud and I dare you not to be charmed by Steve and his journey of wanting to be exceptional only to realize that he was in ways that are entirely his own.

Kids Can Press suggested that we talk to Nelvana about A Horse Named Steve, and we were obviously on board.
