Blanca Robson writes stories for children: for bedtime reading and for first pages read alone. Her first series, Cowboy Charlie, follows a quiet boy from the twelfth floor of a high-rise to a horse ranch, where he learns that real strength begins quietly.
Her books are never about guns or fighting, but about kindness, helpfulness and self-confidence. More books are planned. Is she related to the country singer Ryan Robson? A family secret.
Ponies don’t just disappear. They sneak off for snacks.
