Popular Children's Book Author Comes to Tucson for a Special Storytime Event and Book Signing!
The book is beautifully illustrated by Dave Szalay, who captures the soul of a steed. Zippy Chippy ran 100 races but lost every single one yet, in the process, became a folk hero, just like his champion ancestors, which included Man o' War. Lessons for youngsters--and adults--abound in Zippy's touching tale. The fabled racehorse passed away in April 2022, just days shy of his 31st birthday. Author Artie Bennett was privileged to deliver a eulogy at his graveside memorial service outside Saratoga Springs. With its powerful message of hope and determination, and its healing dose of humor, The True Story of Zippy Chippy: The Little Horse That Couldn't could well be the perfect storybook for our times. The book won the Magnolia Book Award, given by the children of Mississippi.
Artie is also the author of a quintet of award-winning superfun rhyming picture books (The Butt Book, Poopendous!, Peter Panda Melts Down!, Belches, Burps, and Farts--Oh My!, and What's Afoot! Your Complete, Offbeat Guide to Feet).
