This is the humorous, inspirational, heartwarming story of a racehorse descended from the greatest champions to ever run who wants nothing more than to follow in their hoofbeats. But there’s a small problem: Zippy Chippy isn’t terribly good at it. A horse trainer from Puerto Rico, Felix Monserrate, believes he can turn Zippy’s fortunes around. But can he?! Zippy teaches us to never give up on our dreams, even when their fulfillment may be somewhat elusive. The True Story of Zippy Chippy: The Little Horse That Couldn’t won the Magnolia Book Award, given by the children of Mississippi. With its powerful message of hope and determination, and its healing dose of humor, it could well be the perfect storybook for our times.
