Sometimes, in childhood, you hear or see something that affects you deeply. That's what happened to Anna Marie Reynolds. She was in first grade on her first day of school. Anna listened to the teacher read the book, MISTY OF CHINCOTEAGUE, author, Marguerite Henry, to his students. Anna knew that someday she would stand beside Misty and feel the pony's warm breath against her cheek. But, at that young age, she had no idea of how life often has strange ways of transforming our dreams into reality. If you are one of those people who was captivated by Misty's story, or your dream of having your very own pony never came true, this book was written for you.
