Hollyhill Farm and the Lonely Pony by Helen Haraldsen, illustrated by Liz Million, is a touching chapter book for ages 6–9 (approx. 100 pages) centered on Conker, the only pony of his kind at Hollyhill Farm. When he arrives, the other farm animals—cows and sheep—distrust him, convinced he’s the favored creature of the family. Feeling isolated and unwelcome, Conker grapples with loneliness and longs for friendship. Through gentle encounters and heartfelt moments, he learns how to earn trust and find companionship within his new community. This warm story explores themes of belonging, empathy, and the universal need for connection.
