Quincy Moves to the Desert is the gorgeously illustrated, lovingly told story of a horse named Quincy who lives in a tan and white barn in New York State. Quincy loves his owner, Cam, and his best friend Beau, an older horse who also lives in the barn. One day Quincy learns from Beau that the two of them will be going on a big trip to the desert where they will reunite with Cam. Along the way, Quincy learns a great deal from Beau, about states, about types of horses - Standardbreds, Thoroughbreds, Arabians, and more - and how different types of horses perform different tasks. He even learns that he and Beau are both American Quarterhorses. As reluctant as Quincy had initially been about going on a big trip, it opens his eyes to the world at large and the world of possibilities that exists for all of us. This is a wonderful connecting tale that demonstrates growth, maturation, friendship, and mentorship. It also includes a map of the U.S. that shows their cross country progress.
