May 18, 2024


Literature & Art

Beautifully illustrated and thoughtfully written, the author has created a delightful experience to teach a simple lesson about happiness. It is an example that a friend is sometimes all we need to shift our perspective about a situation from unfavourable to positive. Centered around a conversation between a seasoned stable cat and a faithful stock horse, the reader is reminded that there is “good to be found in everything, if we only take the time to look for it.”


This sweet little book is a wonderful companion to keep bedside, place on your desk or gift to a special friend.


The Stock Horse and the Stable Cat is written and illustrated by By Phil Van Trueren and is  available for purchase at Stoic Simple Press.
