Little Mountain Girl

By John Chaney

Little Mountain Girl is the heartwarming tale of June Bug, a spirited young MULE from the hills of Eastern Kentucky whose courage is as wide as the sky above her mountain home. When legendary woodsman Jack Longworth sets out on a daring journey to the Grand Canyon in search of his long-lost childhood friend, June Bug insists on traveling beside him-not as a passenger, but as a partner in the adventure.

Together, they cross forests, rivers, and open plains, guided by Mabel the Mule's steady hooves and June Bug's bright, mountain-born determination. Along the way they meet helpers, face dangers, and discover that friendship, loyalty, and heart can carry you farther than any trail map.

This is a story about exploring the world while never forgetting where you come from. Through June Bug's eyes, readers feel the wonder of distant horizons and the deep comfort of mountain roots. It is a celebration of family, courage, and the unbreakable ties that lead us home again.

Little Mountain Girl invites children and families to step into a world of adventure-one steeped in Appalachian spirit, glowing with imagination, and filled with the timeless truth that even the smallest among us can change the course of a great journey.
