Readers will meet the new mule in town.  

Little Chili Bean is the freshest arrival at Hill Farm.  He’s never been so far away from home -- or near such big mules like Rachel and Smoke, but before long, Chili Bean has made friends with his new neighbors.  Together, they spend their days playing while Chili Bean learns and grows.  From his owner Stu, Chili Bean learns about trust, hard work, and fun.  

Now they’re all about to embark on the biggest adventure of their lives -- and one that will put Chili Bean on better footing from here on out.  With his new shoes, Chili Bean isn’t letting anything get in his way.

Delightfully illustrated, New Shoes for Chili Bean showcases the beauty of nature and the great outdoors.  Its enchanting rhymes are sure to get children excited about reading while the colorful pictures fire up their imaginations -- and encourage them to follow in one ambitious little mule’s footsteps.
