Bookroo's summary

A young girl imagines life with a horse, seeing herself in its shy nature. As she dreams of taming it, she learns about strength, gentleness, and the courage to step beyond her boundaries. Together, they could conquer anything. This beautifully illustrated tale explores themes of friendship and bravery, inviting readers to ponder what it means to truly connect with another being.

From the publisher

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.
