The Ride
The Legend of Betsy Dowdy

Children's author and teacher in the MFA Writing for Children program at Chatham University, Kitty Griffin shows a special adeptness for entertaining young readers and producing stories kids turn to again and again. The Ride is the tale of a girl and her pony-and a special mission that changes the course of American history. Inspired by 200 years of oral tradition, Griffin's memorable children's book has been called the "girl power answer to Paul Revere."
