About the Book Librale is the Portuguese word meaning freedom, which had been given to a young horse that was found running alone one day through the hills of the island called Sao Miguel He was befriended by a kind and generous farmer who although was aware of the colt's defective nose accepted his free spirited perfection. However the other farmers took it upon themselves to help correct the oddly shaped nose which ended with devastating consequences. Librale ran away. It took the courage of a little girl to teach the townspeople some meaningful lessons about love and acceptance. This book gives children an opportunity to experience and understand the healing process from fear to love through friendship, forgiveness and ultimately choice.
