•audiobook•
I had listened to One Frosty Christmas about three months ago and was thrilled Laura Hesse teamed up with Leslie Howard, who had narrated that audiobook, too. (Even though it does not indicate on the audiobook these horse tails are part of The Holiday Series.) These books all seem to be complete stand alone books.
A Filly Called Easter also takes place in River Bend and Hannah (main character from One Frosty Christmas) also has a cameo appearance.
“March 26 and it’s starting to snow again.” This book could have easily been written this year, in which some of us in the US got snow last night!
A sweet, kind story about the compassion among strangers, friends, and the animals they choose to care for. Full of heartache, heart, and love, this is a wonderfully warm story to listen to any day of the year!

This was the best of the three books in the series. Easter is a two year old horse, who became pregnant accidentally. She has many pregnancy related problems, including the weather.
