Harry the Horse

My brother, a retired journalist, is a keen amateur artist. He volunteered to draw illustrations for the story. I had it printed, gave a copy to my grandson, and decided to print some more, sell them in a great Belfast bookshop, 'No Alibis', and give all proceeds to the children's charities, Mary's Meals,  and the BookTrust. I may not raise much money for them, but they are fine charities feeding children's minds and bodies. 
'Harry the Horse' comes to life, jumps over the playground gate and explores the city. He finds a lost frog. With the help of a friendly barn owl who guides the way, he brings the lost frog back to his home pond. 
I hope at least some parent, grandparent, aunt/uncle will buy it as a bedtime story. It will help children here, in the UK, and in Africa.
And I might be encouraged to write another story, aimed, as is "Harry the Horse" at children aged 3 to 5.
