We all hope that our children's lives are joyous, full of sunshine, and dreams fulfilled. Be we all know the reality of growing up includes difficult times. As adults it is our mission to help kids understand and navigatge the difficult and painful times.
"Sophie's Pony Tales" is an aid to some of these issues. Childen identify with animals in ways more direct that abstract discussions. Sophie experiences loss, rejection, doubt, fear and learns ways to work through them.
She succeeds and serves as a model for children that challenges are simply bumps on the way to a successful life.
"Sophie's Pony Tales" is the work of Rev. Glenn VanOort, who combined more than three decades of pastoral work with children with his lifelong passion for horses. The result is a guide for the journey to life's difficult times.
