About this item
Life is changing for Saige. Her grandma is still recovering from the accident, and Saige misses the time they spent together. She takes comfort in riding Georgia, her grandma's youngest horse. She knows her grandma needs cheering up, so Saige comes up with a plan to restore their special art afternoons. Inspired by her grandma, she organizes a "Day of Beige" at her school to show how boring the world would be without creativity and color. Things are finally starting to get better, and then grandma tells Saige of plans to sell Georgia. Can Saige find a way to keep the horse she loves--and help save the arts at her school?
About the Author
Jessie Haas grew up on a small farm in Vermont. A horse-lover from birth, she read every horse book in all the local libraries, and having run out, realized that someone needed to write more. She sold a middle-grade horse story, Keeping Barney, to Greenwillow Books a month before graduating from Wellesley. Many more horse stories followed, for readers of all ages. A lifelong love of history led to more books, including two histories of her hometown, Westminster, Vt., and a world history told in poems about horses.As a Vermonter, Haas has always loved Morgan horses, and currently owns two beautiful mares, Robin and Martha. She lives with husband and fellow author Michael J. Daley in a tiny off-grid cabin they built themselves--36 years and counting. With Michael, she helps manage her parents' farm. She is also an environmental journalist writing for Green Energy Times, and participating in local environmental organizations.
