Shirley Alarie's Christian children's book series conveys complex Christian topics in child-friendly ways. It began with Daysa the Daydreamer's heavenly adventure in 'Heaven is Better', continued in 'Earth Day Dream - Based on The Parable of the Sower', and the upcoming 'The Messy Son - Based on The Parable of the Prodigal Son'. Alarie's real-life inspirational stories feature real animals and people of RVR Horse Rescue. A 2-part series includes 'A New Home for Dominick' and 'A New Family for Dominick' about Dominick the donkey's rescue, the unlikely friendship of Dominick and Charity the old horse, and Dominick's eventual adoption. 'A New Friend for Gilbert' showcases real-life miniature horses Gilbert and Boots, whose friendship takes off on the wrong hoof. The feisty minis teach little ones about friendship, forgiveness, bullying, and tolerance for differences. All books related to RVR Horse Rescue include photos and the true stories of the animals and people involved. Each also includes questions and discussion points for teachers and/or parents. Alarie's adult nonfiction books support causes she loves, including RVR Horse Rescue and Empowered Youth USA. Their inspirational stories are told in 'A Healing Haven' and 'Hope in the Hood', a GOLD WINNER Nonfiction Authors Association Book Award!
