Rocco and Friends is a story about friendship and is suitable for 2–6-year-old boys and girls. When Rocco is treated badly by the other horses, he realises the importance of being true to himself and embracing what makes him unique. Rocco learns that friends aren't always those who look similar or come from the same upbringing. Friends are those who you enjoy spending time with. Rocco and Friends is designed to make children think about bullying. It also encourages them to discover and embrace their own special qualities within. The author's farm animals were the inspiration for this story. 'Rocco Jeffress is my prized horse; he has been my best friend as well as an incredible teacher for the past ten years. He inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and explore new experiences and to never stop learning. My beloved Rocco is cheeky, silly, and inquisitive and is ALWAYS up to mischief. Rocco came into my life when he was just 3 years old. The journey with him has been a huge learning curve filled with many smiles and tears. Rocco sparked a fire in my soul to learn about biomechanics, animal communication, energy healing and much more. The journey I've been on with Rocco has given me a deeper understanding and the skillset to rehabilitate horses and to teach other horse owners to do the same. Toby is a kelpie bred by Adrian who owns Drovers Dream kelpies. I was incredibly lucky that Adrian lent Toby to me to help with work around the farm. I had Toby for a year and a half before he returned to Adrian. In this time, I became attached to Toby; he has such enthusiasm, gives 100% to farm related tasks, and really loved to snuggle. The human character Bob, in Rocco and Friends, is my poppy, Pete. My grandparents have always been there for me and were incredibly supportive while I was growing up. It felt natural that Bob should portray a special person that gave me inspiration throughout my life.' Tori Jeffress - Author of Rocco and Friends.
