LUCY The cream of the crop has no date nor publisher. So, I assume Melissa Gemelli self-published this fun, silly story to advocate for the American Cream Draft Horse. I'm not sure how she created the illustrations. They seem to be photographs edited and collaged together. Lucy is a filly who wants to leave her beautiful farm and see the world. "'I want to be brave and make my mark on the world. I want to see what's out there and show the world who American Cream Draft Horses are!'" she proclaims one day after lunch. Her family supports this adventure. Cousin George accompanies her. Sure enough, they "trotted, galloped guiddyup'ed and walked" all the way to the president of the United States! The president invites all the farm animals to be in a big parade. Lucy returns home grateful for the support she received, including a note from her sister: "Remember who you are. Remember you're a star. Make all of your dreams come true. And always remember your family loves you." Contact info at the end of the book is www.acdha.org
