Grandpa, Read It Again! A Pony, a Cowboy, and a Day at the Ballgame

-

 There’s a special kind of magic that happens when a grandparent opens a picture book and a little one climbs into their lap. Michael Eastwood’s newest story, Cowboy Mike and Winston: A Day at the Ball Game, was made for those moments.

A Story Worth Settling In For

Cowboy Mike and Winston, the lovable miniature pony, know ranch life inside and out. But a baseball game? That’s brand new. There are crowds to cheer with, rules to learn, and plenty of surprises along the way.

Lucky for them, they get a good coach. Pedro Grifol steps in as the manager who teaches the pair how baseball works. He was on the Kansas City Royals staff when they won the 2015 World Series and later managed the Chicago White Sox, and he’s now head baseball coach at FIU. For grandparents who grew up with the game, it’s a perfect excuse to share a favorite pastime with the youngest fan in the family. 

Why Grandparents Love Reading This Series

Cowboy Mike and Winston make wonderful Storytime companions:

  • Gentle, heartwarming friendship. Mike and Winston’s bond is the soul of every story, and it opens the door to chats about kindness and teamwork.
  • Made for reading aloud. Written for ages 3 to 8, the stories are warm, funny, and easy to read with a little voice and a lot of expression.
  • A little nostalgia. Ponies, ranches, and ballparks have a timeless feel that grandparents will enjoy as much as the kids.
  • Conversation starters. Ask your grandchild about their favorite part, or tell them about the first ballgame you ever attended.
  • Start anywhere. Each book stands on its own, so you can pick up any title and begin.

A Gift That Gives Twice

Here’s the part that makes this book even better. 100% of all book sales are donated to Pony 4 Precious, a 501(c)(3) charity. When you buy a copy, you’re giving your grandchild a story to treasure and supporting a good cause at the same time.

Whether it’s for a birthday, a holiday visit, or just a rainy afternoon, Cowboy Mike and Winston: A Day at the Ball Game is ready to become a family favorite. Find it on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and why not pick up a copy for each grandchild?

In Prescott, Memorial Day still means something. The flags are not just decorations. The ceremonies are not just events. The people who gather downtown, walk the Courthouse Plaza, visit the cemetery, attend the art show, and quietly remember those who served are part of a tradition that feels deeply personal. For 2026, Memorial Day falls on Monday, May 25 , and Prescott is preparing for a weekend filled with remembrance, community, and discovery.

The flags are flying, the rodeo grounds are full, downtown streets come alive, families gather around Courthouse Plaza, and the whole community feels proud to call Prescott home. Prescott does Independence Day with history, horses, hometown pride, and real Arizona character. Visitors come for the World’s Oldest Rodeo , the Prescott Frontier Days Rodeo Parade , the Whiskey Row Boot Race , the Rodeo Days Fine Arts and Crafts Show , live music, local restaurants, lakes, hiking, and fireworks.
