WINNER: CHILDREN'S BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024 - NEW ENGLAND BOOK FESTIVAL
Horatio in the Wind - Book 1 in The Leunam Tales
Prince Horatio is haunted by a feeling he can’t name—an invisible force he longs to understand and control. When a mysterious crystal reveals a hidden realm beyond his own, he becomes determined to master the unknown. But his quest sets off a chain of events that will reshape his kingdom—and his place within it—forever.
This book, though written through the lens of children’s stories, aims to illuminate a deeper spiritual truth about existence —one that many may not have fully explored or understood.
This is a story steeped in fantasy elements that stirs something deeper within you—a feeling, a knowing, or a question about the nature of life—know that this, too, is its intended purpose.
Praise from Solene, a 39-year-old mother of Livy (6) and Piatas (9): "This book had me IN TEARS, my kids are obsessed... We are obsessed. I bet you Pixar turns this into a movie."
This mysterious yet heartwarming tale comes with a gut punch.
"Form and space are in love, so they always chase after each other."
Praise from Megan Barnard (DreamWorks Animation): "Self publishing is hard, let alone at this level of quality. What you have achieved is remarkable."
