All About Boston

About the Book

In the children’s book, All About Boston, there really is a horse named Boston. Boston is a fifteen-year-old quarter horse mare. In this second book written about Boston, she tells the story what it is like to be a horse from her own perspective. Earlier in her life, Boston moved from owner to owner, but now has found a permanent home in the state of Wisconsin.

About the Author

What happens when two long time friends, one a special education teacher and one an art teacher, get together? They, of course, develop a children’s book. Kim Preder, the author, took the love for her horse, and Mary Starnitcky, the illustrator, took her love for art to make their creation, Boston Finds a Home. As young children, they both grew up on dairy farms. Preder and Starnticky are currently both educators in the state of Wisconsin. Preder is married, and has a total of five horses on her farm. Starnitcky is married with three children.
