However, it does share some qualities with E.B. White's Charlotte's Web. In both stores, there is a loving owner who doesn't want to give up the animal that they have bonded with. In both of these stories, there is a very personal attachment the readers have to both Wilbur and Liberty Biscuit."" --Fantasic Books & Where to Find Them ""What a delightful read, and a salve for these current times."" --Jec Aristotle Ballou author of 55 Corrective Exercises for Horses, 101 Dressage Exercises for Horse and Rider, and Equine Fitness ""An artfully written text that engages the mind and spirit of the reader through an effective voice and page-turning narrative kids will quickly relate to and enjoy. Love the cover artwork too!"" --Catskill Horse Magazine ""This book kept me guessing what would happen next, and I truly enjoyed reading it."" --Blaze Kids Magazine""If you love animals more than anything, Liberty Biscuit is the perfect book for you."" --Young Rider Magazine ""Liberty Biscuit has characters that feel like real people.

Author Information

When Melanie Sue Bowles stumbled across the quote, “The purpose of life is to live a life of purpose,” she loved it so much that it became the steadfast philosophy by which she has lived her entire adult life. Unwanted, elderly, and abused horses became her purpose, and she and her husband Jim began Proud Spirit Horse Sanctuary with one horse in need on five acres of land in rural Florida. Their facility grew to hundreds of acres in first Arkansas, and then North Carolina, where rescued animals were allowed to roam as natural herds. Over the years, Melanie and Jim have intervened on behalf of over 300 downtrodden horses, many of them coming to the sanctuary to live out their lives in peace and dignity. Their story has been featured on PBS and in three books Bowles has written about the Sanctuary’s animal residents. Bowles comes from a large family, many of whom own horses and love all animals as much as she does, including nieces, nephews, and grandchildren who helped inspire the characters in Liberty Biscuit.
