About this title

Synopsis

Fitting In is the true story of a horse named Picasso that rejoins a herd after a period of separation and is now living in Maine. It chronicles his return and the challenges he faces while getting reacquainted. His story parallels the bumps and bruises that many children encounter as they discover who they are and how to retain their individuality and still be part of a group. The book works on many levels. This slice of Picasso s life is not only explained to the reader but is also shared by a photographic re-telling of the events as they happened. The truth of the story is multiplied exponentially through the beauty of his reality, captured in black and white stills, which provide a tangible record of the social nature and complexity within the life of the herd. The book is also designed for use as an instructional tool for teachers involved in either therapeutic or traditional classroom setting. Included are many descriptions of horses physiognomy, body language, herd dynamics and more. The information is cross-referenced with photos and events in the story to provide graphic demonstrations with his old friends.
