Meet Jack Brock

On Sunday, 20th October, from 2pm, Ali Stearn will be here to share the heart-warming adventures of Jack Brock with young readers. Jack is a very special little pony. A dementia ambassador, fundraiser and regular visitor of care homes, Jack even won Animal Hero of the Year 2022. Join us for a reading from Ali's brand new book 'Jack Brock' at 2:15pm to hear the story of Jack visiting a local care home, where he met Alma, a very special lady.

But the excitement doesn’t end there—Jack Brock himself will be here too! Little ones will have the chance to meet this real-life pony star after the reading. With his gentle nature and fluffy mane, Jack Brock is sure to be the highlight of the day, creating a truly magical experience for all who visit.

Afterwards, Ali will be signing copies of 'Jack Brock', so don’t forget to pick up a book for a special keepsake. Whether your child loves ponies, adventure stories, or simply wants to meet Jack in person, this event is free and open to all to attend.

We look forward to welcoming you for this special event filled with storytelling, laughter, and of course, the delightful Jack Brock!

Jack Brock

'Jack Brock' recounts one of Jack’s visits to a care home, retelling the laughter and joy he brings and the impact he has on one particular resident, Alma. In addition to being a fun and heartwarming story about Jack and Ali’s adventures, 'Jack Brock' is also a great way to start conversations with young children about dementia and can be a helpful tool for any children with grandparents who currently live in a care home. It can also be a great introduction to the power of animal therapy for people of all ages.
