The stories in the Flutter's World collection are based on two real-life horses named Flutter and Image. Their playful nature inspired the author, Marcy Kikegawa, to create imaginative stories about them. When Marcy was a second grade teacher, she loved to create stories with her students. Most of the stories were about horses and she found that the horses they wrote about practiced magic. Horses plus magic always equals great storytelling. Marcy wants all of her readers to enjoy that same magic. Meet the real Flutter and Image and other horse friends at fluttersworld.com
