I created Talley the Horsey's character after our family horse, Taylor, and the amazing connection forged between my son and him. Taylor's outgoing, loving, and whimsical personality was the inspiration for Talley the Horsey and his adventures. I wanted to create fun stories for my sons to enjoy and that are relatable to all toddlers. Talley the Horsey Gets a New Pair of Shoes is a cute story about Talley searching and ultimately finding the most perfect pair of shoes to run and play in.
