Sunbeam
is the story of a little girl who goes on an emotional roller coaster. She
was thrilled when she thought that her father bought her a horse and was
devastated when it turned out that the horse was bought by another family
in the neighborhood. With her mother's assurance that it is alright to be
sad, the little girl learns to overcome her disappointment. Wanda Wyont
has an extensive background in teaching early childhood education and has
years of experience working with children. She combined these two
experiences in writing Sunbeam, a page-turning story. Sunbeam
focuses on the main character’s love of horses and her dream of riding a
horse. The story of Sunbeam is enhanced by beautiful illustrations drawn
by Suzie Huskins, until recently, a resident of Banner Elk, North
Carolina.
