Lydia-a bright copper-colored filly-is born into the world on a stormy night. Lydia is beautiful and healthy except for one thing. She is born with one eye. Her mother does not tell her, so she doesn't know that she is different. Lydia does not understand why none of the other young horses will be her friend.

Due to her half blindness, Lydia, with the help of some new and unconventional animal friends, learns how to use her other senses to her benefit. The playful crows teach her how to read the wind to predict the weather, the serious dogs teach her how to smell and identify predators, and the friendly calico cat teaches her how to see in the dark.

But when Lydia finally learns the truth of her disability, will she be able to muster the courage and strength and grace to help the rest of the horses when they all find themselves in danger? Or will she not be able to save them?

Lydia's Gift is an uplifting and inspiring story that explores what it really means to be different and find acceptance. This fast-paced tale is one that can be enjoyed by parents and children alike-it's a heartwarming look at the power of true friendship and the realization that sometimes our greatest weakness turns out to be our greatest strength...and perhaps a disability may really be a gift we didn't know we had.
