Shadow is one of many therapeutic horses at Rising Hope Farms. While there are other horses to choose from, many riders specifically ask to work with Shadow given his easy-going spirit and the excitement surrounding his mysterious spots. His life wasn't always as pleasant as it is on this North Carolina farm, though. Shadow's unique spots mystified his former master and brought with them, fear and confusion. Life back then was tough. Lucky for him, Shadow's master finally sent Shadow to auction. A kind woman felt compelled to buy the downtrodden horse with sad eyes and a gentle nature, and she brought him to Rising Hope Farms. Today, riders young and old flock to Shadow. While much mystery about his spots remain, when revealed; they are a reminder to us all that by God's handiwork, we are each uniquely and beautifully made.

Firefighters' Busy Day!

Firefighters' Busy Day! is a wonderful way to introduce little people to the abilities and skills needed in firefighting as a career. The active and engaging language used by the author encourages the incorporation of movement in a lesson. -Donna Gerdes, MAEd Firefighters are busy! They have many tasks to do each day including "washing, waxing, shining the truck, cleaning the gear, getting rid of the muck." In Firefighters' Busy Day!, children can see the jobs firefighters do before, during, and after a fire call. Through the use of movement written into the text, they can even help firefighters get their jobs done. Young children can pretend to be busy firefighters, too, by trying some of the exciting fire safety activities included such as a fire truck parade or a firefighter-themed meal. These activities are sure to turn everyday learning into firefighter fun. Grab your gear, jump on the truck, and ride along with firefighters helping in the community!
