If You Want to Ride a Horse

Carson Ellis' Home meets Carter Higgins' Everything You Need for a Treehouse in this poetic, open-ended testament to the power of imagination, through the prism of horses. In lovely, lyrical fashion, If You Want to Ride a Horse introduces young readers to the joys of owning, riding, and caring for horses. It only starts with imagination?from there, the possibilities are endless. Beginning with a daydream, our young rider goes from dreaming about a horse, choosing the ideal kind of horse, meeting the horse, cleaning the horse, tacking up in preparation to ride, soothing their horse through a hard moment, triumphantly getting on, and finally riding gloriously off down the beach. Is it the best dream ever or a dream come true? It hardly matters: Gael Abary?s art makes even the most incredible fantasy feel possible, and award-winning author?s Amy Novesky?s unforgettable language is an ode to the power of dreams and self-belief to change any young child?s life. The book includes an author?s note, an illustrator?s note, and tantalizing fun facts about horses and horseback riding. A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
