Lloyd the Police Horse

A parent might reach for this book when their child is feeling different, clumsy, or struggling to find where they fit in. It's a gentle and reassuring story for any child who compares themselves to others and feels like they don't measure up. The book follows Lloyd, a big, strong Clydesdale who feels out of place among the quicker, sleeker police horses. He struggles in training and worries he'll never be useful. However, when an emergency arises that only his unique size and strength can resolve, Lloyd discovers his own special worth and becomes a celebrated hero. Appropriate for ages 5 to 8, this heartwarming tale beautifully illustrates that our differences are often our greatest strengths and that everyone has an important role to play in their community.
