Dusty

A long time ago, Life Magazine published an article with a photo of a large white horse, and its rider, leaping over a monstrous seven-foot fence. The image stayed with Mona Marshall for years, and became the inspiration for the story of Dusty. Snowman, the horse in the photo, was purchased for $80 by Harry de Layer, off the back of a slaughterhouse truck. Their success is legendary in show jumping circles.

With illustrations reminiscent of the beloved story of Ferdinand the Bull, and a poetic flair reaching back to the days of Dr. Seuss, Mona Marshall has written and illustrated a heartwarming vintage style book, with a timeless message.

As a member of the Minnesota White Earth Ojibwe tribe, Mona has truly lived the message of her book, and it is her dream that this beautiful read-aloud story will inspire a new generation of children to dream big, work hard, overcome obstacles, and succeed.
