REVIEWS

“The love of a goofy horse and the fear of not living life to the fullest is what drove local businesswoman and mom Claire Tucker to write nine children’s books in three months.” – Madeleine Chaput, Daily Dispatch

“Everyone loves a ‘happily ever after’ and that’s what you get when you follow his tales.” – Wendy Jasson da Costa, Sunday Tribune

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Claire was born in South Africa and lives on the Wild Coast with her long-suffering husband and their two beautiful children, in a kennel which they rent from their dogs ....

They also have two cats and a school of guppies who refuse to die no matter how often she forgets to feed them.

There are probably silkworm eggs in a box somewhere waiting for mulberry season but that’s a story for a different day.

She’s a recent convert to children’s books and has written nine so far, with two in print and the rest under way with her patient publisher.

All these books are about a marvellous horse called George, who she still rides.

The reason these books came about is that she became tired of reading “the same old drivel” to her kids at night, and decided she should write something funny and engaging for both kids and parents.To write about horses seemed a no-brainer as they are one of Claire’s great passions.

Unfortunately, she has always had more enthusiasm than talent when it comes to riding, but there’s something about the smell of a horse (like the grassy paws of a sleeping dog) that makes one stop and take a large, happy, calming breath, and so she persists (to her trainers’ dismay) in mucking about with horses... that is when she is not trying to earn a living from running her company.
