What if a story could help a child to see for themselves why it's harmful to spend too much time looking at a screen?
Well here it is ...
A lonely pony, a distracted girl, and a pasture full of animals who refuse to give up on their friend. Wise piebald mare, Belle, must rediscover her own power to help Caro remember the magic of nature, kindness, and true connection, As phones steal attention and friendships wobble, this heart-warming tale celebrates listening, belonging, and finding joy in the real world.
This story will encourage the reader to think twice about looking at a phone and will help them remember how important it is to be outside amongst the wonders of nature.
"Amazing book! I bought one as a gift for my (almost) teenage niece and she loved it. She isn't into horses but is on her phone constantly, and this helped open up the conversation about being more "present" and seeing the world and the beauty in nature. And the illustrations are fantastic!" Joe Bangles
"In my mind Belle Finds Her Power is a tale based on a universally true story. I hope this wonderful book is read as far and wide as possible - it will lead children outside and remind adults of the importance of bringing young ones closer to nature. This is a book about what really matters in life: care, love, true friendship, and the importance of being present - and of course the magic of animals and how lucky we humans are to have them in our lives. Olson artfully puts into words the harm caused by phones and social media - the robbery of wonder, creativity, and of childhood. If we could all find the power like Belle then the world would be a far, far better place. A moving and much needed tale for all ages!" Louis D Hall
