The Adventures of Arrow

By Buck Kalinowski

Book Overview

This is the story of a little horse named Arrow.

Arrow was born around Valentine's Day, and from the very beginning, he received lots of attention. He was little and cute and had a special mark. Centered across his rump was a big white patch of fur shaped like an arrow pointing to his head. It really stuck out on his little brown body. Arrow's mother was pretty special too. She had a perfect heart-shaped head on her forehead, and her name was Cupid.

Cupid's Secret is the story of Cupid, Arrow's mother who had had a hard life and things did not come easily for her. She had met many people who were not very nice while she was growing up. Then one day a kind farmer bought her at an auction and changed her life forever. In a transformation of this horse's self-worth, she gives birth to a colt that carries another unique mark that paves the way for his future. Cupid's Secret is a delightful story of love, trust and prayer. Buck Kalinowski has given us a children's book that not only amuses, it tells a story of love and compassion, and teaches a lesson of hope and enlightenment.

Once Arrow was born, Cupid had her job cut out for her with her little son. Everyone wanted to see the new colt; after all, how many horses in the world have an arrow on their rump? There are brown horses and black horses, golden horses and spotted horses; some have stars on their faces while others have stripes of white, but only one horse has an arrow. Cupid and Arrow along with Farmer Buck traveled to many horse shows and events, they were all becoming quite famous.

Arrow liked meeting people. He enjoyed being petted and liked running around when the farm workers would let him out for exercise. Arrow was always getting into something, and that is why this book is called The Adventures of Arrow.

The book is a selection of short stories meant to delight the child in all of us. Read about Arrow as he dares to venture away from his famous mother and explore the world around him. At the end of every story there is a group of questions to encourage thought and/or discussion between adult and child about the lesson Arrow learns.

Customer Reviews

Buck writes great books for kids who love horses

The following is an excerpt about Buck and his books, from my book, Book Marketing DeMystified: Enjoy Discovering the Optimal Way to Sell Your Self-Published Book, Practical advice from the inventor of print-on-demand (POD) publishing... Paul "Buck" Kalinowski, Jr. from Wolcott, Connecticut, wrote two children's books, called Cupid's Secret and The Adventures of Arrow, which he sells from his ranch, through a website [...] and also at horse shows. Buck is a singer who often entertains at the shows, which draws further attention to his award-winning horses (Cupid and Arrow) and their namesake books. Buck has assembled a product line of porcelain models, plush toys and beanie horses fashioned in the horses' likeness, eBook versions, CDs and T-shirts - so he can cross-market. He has hired scriptwriters to create a movie proposal. His book sales are over 20,000 copies and steadily climbing. Buck has figured out his public very well, and has nailed the best places to sell his books as well - his ranch, website and horse events. Of course, this marketing would only work if Buck created great stories, which he did!
