Book Title: Pip the Pony: Hero of the Kingdom!
Author: Eskinder Yimer Haylu (Dr.)

Book Description:

In a land where sunlight danced on castle towers and grassy fields stretched like green jellybeans, there lived a very small but very spirited pony named Pip. Pip the Pony: Hero of the Kingdom! is a heartwarming, courage-filled adventure that will captivate young readers with its vibrant illustrations, lovable characters, and timeless message: no matter how small you are, you can do BIG things.

In the royal stables of a sunny kingdom, Pip was the tiniest of all the ponies. Overshadowed by the knights' towering steeds in glittering armor, the princess's golden carriage horse, and even the King's regal parade horse with feathers on his head, Pip often wondered what his place in the kingdom could be. But despite his small size and bouncy trot, Pip held a heart full of dreams—and a secret promise to himself: "One day, I'll do something BIG for the kingdom!"

Then one day, everything changed.

The castle bells rang out in a clang of alarm—CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! A grumpy old dragon had arrived at the gates of the kingdom. He wasn't breathing fire or smashing towers—no, he had a taste for mischief and apples! Stealing every last royal apple from the castle orchards, the dragon evaded every knight, every brave steed, and every royal tactic.

With the bigger horses failing and the knights outwitted, tiny Pip knew it was time. He shook with nerves but remembered his words. "I may be small... but I'm bright and fast!" What follows is a fast-paced, delightfully clever chase across rose gardens, pumpkin patches, and castle bridges as Pip challenges the dragon in a dizzying duel of speed and smarts.

With quick hooves, a bold heart, and a splash of humor, Pip leads the dragon on a wild goose chase—until the grumbly beast tumbles straight into a giant mud puddle!

The entire kingdom erupts in celebration:

  • The King claps with delight.

  • The Queen tosses flowers of joy.

  • The knights lift Pip high into the air.

  • And the people shout, "Hooray for Pip, the Defender of the Kingdom!"

    Crowned with a golden medal and a new royal title—Sir Pip the Courageous—our little pony proves that heroes come in all shapes and sizes. His courage becomes legend, his story echoing through the stables, the castle halls, and the hearts of readers everywhere.
