Description
If I had a horse, he might be shy, like me. But if I stayed quiet, he'd learn to be my friend. I would have to tame him. I would have to be strong, like him. And he would have to be gentle, like me. And together, we could do anything. Gianna Marino's vibrant, silhouetted art brings to life this picture book about understanding, stepping beyond boundaries, and bravery.

ReviewsReaders will almost feel the wind in their hair and hear the thunder of hooves as they are inspired to pursue their dreams. Beautiful.--Kirkus Reviews, starred review Marino's silhouettes should make it easy for readers to imagine themselves in the story, a contemplative tribute to children's deeply felt desires for a pet and how one's imagination can almost bring those fantasies to life.--Publishers Weekly An invigorating opportunity for individuals or groups to participate in a glorious moment--inside out.--School Library Journal
