Get Curious…June Bug Finds Her Forever Home Book Club

JuneBug Finds Her Forever Home

An Equine Book Club Experience

Join us for a three-day equine-assisted book club inspired by JuneBug Finds Her Forever Home, written by Brenda L. Johnson, Bertrand, Nebraska.  As youth read JuneBug’s journey, they’ll explore themes of belonging, trust, and patience.

The book club blends reading comprehension, vocabulary exploration, and discussion with hands-on, ground-based activities partnering with horses. Your child will build reading skills and essential life skills: confidence, empathy, and responsibility.

And on the final day… JuneBug herself will make a special guest appearance at LyonHeart!

Each child will take home an autographed copy of JuneBug Finds Her Forever Home on the final day.
