PB Shadrach by Meindert DeJong Set in a small Dutch village long ago, Shadrach tells the tender story of a beloved old horse and the boy who loves him. When Shadrach grows too old to work, young Davie cannot bear the thought of losing his faithful friend. What follows is a gentle yet powerful tale of loyalty, compassion, and courage. Meindert DeJong’s storytelling is quiet and heartfelt, capturing both the simplicity of rural life and the deep bond between child and animal. A Newbery Honor–winning classic, Shadrach remains a moving read-aloud and a beautiful choice for families who treasure timeless children’s literature. Show more
