Sunny and Jess Come Out of the Wild: The Story of Two Real-life Chincoteague Ponies

Sunny and Jess Come Out of the Wild is a children's book, based upon a true story. Sunny and Jess are real Chincoteague ponies, born in the wild in 2014. Their story is told, describing their adventures as they were herded, corralled, driven across Assateague Channel, paraded down Main Street in the town of Chincoteague, separated from their mothers, and sold at auction to Bill and Sue Immen. Complimenting the lovely watercolor illustrations are the actual photographs of their adventures. Their story describes the historical pony penning week held in Chincoteague, VA, which is now in its 91st year. According to historical records, pony penning has been held along the East Coast since Colonial times. The Chincoteague event is the last of its kind, and thousands of people come to watch the event which is always held the last week of July. The stories of Sunny and Jess will continue to be told in subsequent books. "Sunny and Jess Go to Preschool" will be coming soon.
