The Pointy Horse. Picture Books

Sometimes, sticking out is exactly the point. Spearmint the Brumby doesn't fit in. He's the wrong colour for the bush, and his strange, sharp horn is always getting in the way. He wishes he could be sleek and "normal" like the rest of the mob, but the wild High Country has other plans. When the Great Dry strikes the mountains, the herd finds themselves in trouble. It turns out that being "normal" can't save them-but being a bit "pointy" just might.
The Pointy Horse is a hilarious and heartwarming Australian retelling of The Ugly Duckling. A tale about identity, friendship, and the magic of realising that we are all just creatures with different accessories, perfect for anyone who has ever felt like they didn't quite fit the herd.
