‘True Story of Zippy Chippy’ author to sign books Aug. 26

Children’s author Artie Bennett will sign copies of "The True Story of Zippy Chippy: The Little Horse That Couldn't" from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday, Aug. 26, at Browseabout Books in Rehoboth Beach.

This humorous, inspirational, heartwarming story centers on a racehorse descended from the greatest champions to ever run. He wants nothing more than to follow in their hoofprints, but Zippy Chippy isn’t terribly good at racing. A horse trainer from Puerto Rico, Felix Monserrate, believes he can turn Zippy’s fortunes around – but can he? Zippy teaches readers to hold onto their dreams, even when fulfillment may be somewhat elusive.
