Heyward the Horse Loves Charleston, Of Course! Children's Book

Heyward the Horse Loves Charleston, Of Course! introduces young readers to Heyward M. Pinckney IV, a Charleston carriage horse with a magic bowtie that lets him fly visitors over the city's most famous sights, including Waterfront Park, Rainbow Row, and the City Market.

Written and illustrated by Charleston-based author Andrew Barton, this hardback book comes with a dust jacket and is signed by both the author and illustrator, a nice keepsake from a Lowcountry vacation. The rhyming, read-aloud text and bright illustrations make it an easy bedtime story, and the real Charleston landmarks give local families and visiting kids alike a fun way to recognize the places they've actually seen.

Perfect for:

• A Charleston souvenir for young visitors
• Bedtime reading for toddlers through early readers
• Pairing with the sequel, Heyward the Horse and the Founding of Charleston
• A first "welcome to Charleston" gift for kids moving to the area
• Classroom or library read-alouds about Charleston history and landmarks
• A quiet activity for kids during a carriage tour or while waiting for dinner reservations

Great as a gift for:

• Young Charleston fans and future history buffs
• Baby showers and new-to-Charleston families
• Corporate gifts and client thank-yous for out-of-town visitors with kids
• Birthday gifts for Charleston-loving kids
• Grandparents and relatives looking for a meaningful, keepsake-quality souvenir
