Description
Another Tail – A Return to (Wonderfully Chaotic) French Life – Hardcover Children’s Picture Book – Rocking Horse Story – Illustrated Gift Book
Another Tail is a beautifully illustrated hardback children’s book celebrating friendship, imagination, family, the timeless magic of rocking horses and the child that quietly lives inside every adult.
When a magnificent rocking horse named Diablo arrives at Château de Charmant, Ruby, Darcy and Bo are convinced something very peculiar is happening. As they investigate the château’s newest arrival, funny misunderstandings, unexpected adventures and heartwarming discoveries unfold, revealing that growing up never really means leaving childhood behind.
Through the dogs’ adventures, children naturally explore real-life experiences such as welcoming someone new into the family, coping with change, overcoming jealousy, building confidence, showing kindness, learning empathy and discovering that everyone has their own unique strengths. Alongside these gentle life lessons, the story also celebrates the remarkable bond between people and assistance dogs, showing how quiet acts of loyalty, comfort and understanding can change lives.
Written with adults just as much as children in mind, Another Tail offers something rather special. While children delight in the adventure and humour, adults are gently reminded of the child they once were—the dreams they had, the comfort of favourite toys, and the memories that still have the power to make them smile. It is a story that parents and grandparents often find themselves enjoying just as much as the children sitting beside them.
Inspired by real rescue dogs, a real Stevenson Brothers rocking horse, and the beautiful French countryside, the richly detailed illustrations invite readers into a world filled with warmth, humour and quiet magic. It is a book to treasure, revisit and share across generations.
Perfect for:
- Children aged approximately 4–9
- Parents and grandparents who love reading together
- Dog lovers and rocking horse enthusiasts
- Families who enjoy stories with warmth, humour and heart
- Bedtime stories and cosy family reading
- Beautiful keepsake and gift editions
