2014 is the Year of the Horse! This is the ninth story in Immediums popular childrens picture book series on the twelve charismatic animals of the Chinese New Year. The adventures of the spirited horse Hannah will amuse children and adults alike. Hannah the horse has a wonderfully talented family and a very special friendship with a boy named Tom. But she wants more than that. She yearns to have special skills like those of her parents and relatives. When Tom's art teacher needs her newest painting delivered to the governor in a capital far away, can Hannah show that a little horse can have a lot of courage? This latest adventure in the Tales from the Chinese Zodiac follows the Snake (2013), Dragon (2012), Rabbit (2011), Tiger (2010), Ox (2009), Rat (2008), Pig (2007) and Dog (2006). Each book features a unique cast from the Chinese lunar calendar. Each year is represented by an animal who symbolizes special qualities, and people traditionally identify with the personality of the sign in their birth year. "Another heroine emerges in the Tales from the Chinese Zodiac series! Hannah the horse and Tom set off on an adventure that will have the reader galloping to the very end. The cast of lively characters in the Year of the Horse come to life through rich dialogue and vibrant illustrations in another crowd pleaser. As with all the Oliver Chin books in my library, this one will be sure to fly off the shelf." - Karen Lee, Librarian, San Francisco, CA
