Don't waste your money. It's a glorified picture book. It will take you 6 minutes to read.

The book was made into a little movie - I found it with my kids on accident after countless nights of not sleeping with my colic baby.. I ran into my oldest's room asking to take the baby for Just a moment so I could collect myself. It was 3am and I was sobbing and my spouse was out of town. My oldest took the baby for a few, everything was ok.
we watched and listened to this story later that day..

"What's the bravest thing you've ever said?" Asked the boy.
"Help," answered the horse.
"Asking for help isn't giving up. It's refusing to give up."
My oldest hugged me and we both cried.
My oldest used it for their senior quote even.
GREAT story
