Brave, Strong Leonie and the Race of a Lifetime: An Exciting Children's Story about a Brave, Strong Girl and a Very Special Pony Race by Hilary Moore (Paperback / softback, 2015)
Leonie is a courageous village girl with a golden eagle for a friend. When the boys in the village begin preparing for a grand 20 mile pony race, Leonie insists on taking part. With her best friend, Jaran, at her side, Leonie trains for the race in secret. Will she manage to compete and win? All the author's profits from the Brave, Strong Girls series go to the Malala Fund to help educate and empower girls around the world. Other books in the series are: 'Brave Strong Sw White and the Seven Dwarfs' and 'The Brave Strong Mermaid'. The Brave Strong Girl books are for girls and boys, ages 3-8. They are mostly for parents to read to their child, but many six-year-olds, and most 7-8 year olds will be able to read them independently. This version of the book is written in UK English. An American spelling version is available from www.amazon.com.
Hilary began her career as a concert harpist, before doing a PhD and an MBA. She now works as a communication specialist in international business. She has published several other books, including an academic study of racial and national identity on the British jazz scene. Hilary Moore has a young daughter, Iona. Watching her being influenced by the passive princesses of the traditional fairy tales inspired her to write the Brave Strong Girls books. All her profits for the Brave Strong Girls series go to the Malala Fund, to help educate and empower girls around the world.
