Lucky is the fastest racehorse in the stable, and on race day, she loved to see all the ladies wearing their fashionable hats and shoes.
When Lucky insists on wearing high heel shoes to race in, her trainer isn’t convinced… not only that; all the other racehorses want to wear fashionable shoes, too!
Does the race go ahead? Does Lucky win, or is there complete chaos?

About the Illustrator: Amy Calautti
From a young age Amy has loved to draw. She studied fashion and design the entire way through high school, along with any extra art units that were available. She then continued her study of fashion and textile design at Perth Central TAFE. After a 15 year gap, Amy picked up her pencils and rediscovered her love of drawing when she became a mother. She joined the 52 week Illustration Challenge and began to comprehend what her true potential could be. With her new found direction she became an active member in SCBWI, and participated in Nina Rycroft’s picture book illustration course in late 2017 and has been working on her portfolio ever since.
In late 2018, Amy began work on illustrating her first picture book, When the Moon is a Smile, written by Teena Raffa-Mulligan.
This will be Amy’s fourth commission with Little Pink Dog Books. Her first was Hector and his Highland Dancers, published in Nov 2020, her second is Mr Ming and the Mooncake Dragon, to be published in June 2021 and her third is Peanut, to be published in early 2022.
Amy now lives with her small tribe of humans who bring her endless inspiration. If she’s not hunched over her drawing table, madly scribbling her marvellous creations, she is either cooking up a storm or hosting an extravagant pool party.
