About this deal

Her books have received awards, earned starred reviews, made lists, been made into musicals, and been translated into many different languages. Little Blue Truck has been chugging along since 2008, but there seems to be plenty of gas left in the tank.

Colin: In these pitches you’ve got one minute to impress somebody before they decide either “this is boring” or “I love this. The realisation of his self-worth teaches an essential lesson to young children about valuing themselves over their appearance. This lovely picture book explores what it means to be special --and to have friends-- when Steve the horse with dreams of exceptionalism finds a golden horn, he straps it on his head and declares himself exceptional.Steve certainly thinks he is more than exceptional-- whether young readers agree would make a great conversation. Families can talk about what makes each member of the family exceptional, like what Steve hopes for in A Horse Named Steve. The trailer should give the audience a basic understanding of who the character is, what their world is, and what they’re all about.

Collier also incorporates words associated with the five senses to help children engage with Steve’s experiences, albeit in a lively and stimulating way. Illustrated in lively black-and-white artwork interwoven with humorous commentary, the book and its follow-up, “Team Steve,” follow the exploits of Steve, a good-natured, rather obtuse horse who thinks he’s ordinary but wants to be exceptional. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

I was substitute teaching a Grade 3 class for a close friend and colleague who asked me to read this story aloud to her students since she has a deep personal connection to this book.

This bright, breezy picture-book debut by Toronto author-illustrator Kelly Collier marks the first time I have ever seen the myth of Narcissus reworked with a horse in the starring role. Parents need to know that A Horse Named Steve, by Kelly Collier, is a funny, delightfully illustrated story of a horse who can find many ways to be exceptional. A Horse Named Steve follows an endearingly silly horse named Steve who finds a magical golden horn in the forest. However, when he loses it, Steve is devastated and embarks on a slapstick mission to rediscover his best self.

The eponymous equine, like Cephissus and nymph Liriope’s self-infatuated kid, has a high opinion of himself.
