Recently I was asked if I would be interested in reading and reviewing Cheryl Olsten’s upcoming release, Big Wishes for Little Feat. This is a story that is beautifully illustrated by Paolo d’Altan. I must say my children were captivated by the illustrations! Absolutely beautiful. Of course, the content in the story drew their attention, too 😉
Young Ella finds herself saddened by the fact that she must spend her summer with her aunt in Belgium, rather than enjoy it at home with her parents. She loves nothing more than to lie on the grass at night and gaze up at the stars with her father. Together they seek out constellations and admire them. Ella’s one consolation as she heads off overseas is that she can look up at the same sky that her parents are able to admire. 
Big Wishes for Little Feat
Young Lafitte is a beautiful horse but small for his breed. He loves to jump and daydreams about finding the perfect owner to love him forever. But it seems that his small stature results in him not being sold. Although his parents shower him with love, the small horse with a big heart feels that he is missing something – someone who wants to buy him. Ella has learned about the word feat from her father. When she discovers Lafitte at the Bonneville Stables, she soon learns that this little horse is capable of incredible feats. And so she renames him Little Feat.
Together the pair find that if they wish hard enough, amazing things can truly happen. Big Wishes for Little Feat is an enjoyable read. It has gorgeous illustrations that are bound to capture the attention of young readers.
