    On April 14, 2010, Hayseed will star in his first book,
    Hayseed's First Race.

    In the story, Hayseed will teach you about loving
    yourself for who you are and to never, ever let
    anyone tell you that you don't belong.

    In Hayseed’s first big race nobody, but nobody, gave
    Hayseed a chance of winning. Everyone knew that
    Prince Perfect was going to win, eveyone, that is, except
    Hayseed!

    Hi Kids, It's my pleasure to meet you. If you love horses as much as I
    do, then you're going to love Hayseed. I've been drawing Hayseed
    since I was in college. My father actually gave him the name Hayseed.

    Hayseed's different, like me. I'm deaf, that means that I can't hear. I
    talk with my hands. One of the ways I use them to talk is to write and
    draw stories about Hayseed.

    My first book starring my life-long friend is called, Hayseed's First Race.
    In the story you will learn about loving yourself for who you are and to
    never, ever  let anyone tell you that you don't belong.

    These are the first of many lessons that Hayseed will teach you as you
    grow up. In books to come, Hayseed will teach you about hard work
    and the rewards that come with it, and he'll teach you about never
    giving up on yourself.

    Below, you can pre-order Hayseed's first book and become a member
    of Hayseed's Posse. To be a member you have to do good in school,
    listen to your teachers, and help around the house. Can you do that?
    If you can, take Hayseed's Posse Pledge and then have fun, here at
    Hayseed's Stall.

                                     Love and Hugs,
                                     Miss. Sally

    A portion of the profits from books published by Caballo Press of Ann Arbor go to a non-profit organization
    related to the equine industry. In this case, five percent of the profits from Hayseed's First Race will be
    donated to Anna House. Anna House is an on-site child-care center for the benefit of working families at

    care center at a racetrack in the U.S. for backstretch workers.


    The day of Hayseed's first race had finally
    arrived, but no one gave him a chance of
    winning. Everyone knew that a race horse
    named Prince Perfect was going to win.

    Prince Perfect was perfect, and he knew it. His
    eyes, his nose, his mane, his tail, his long legs
    were all perfectly perfect. There was no other
    race horse who stood a chance against him.
