Listen to your heart, trust your gut, and dream big!
Ponies were always coming and going at the barn, that was nothing new, but as summer begins the girl with the long blonde hair notices something about the newest pony that she can’t quite put her finger on.
This pony is ordinary, ugly even, and on top of that she is mean. But the girl doesn’t seem to care, she is drawn to her and determined to earn the pony’s trust. Over the course of the summer, the pair develop an incredible bond. But, tragically, as summer ends the two are separated.
Young readers will eagerly turn the pages to find out if the girl and the pony will ever see each other again.
Beautiful illustrations from award-winning illustrator, Marjorie van Heerdan, paired with a dynamic tale inspired by a true story bring to life an emotional journey that will make readers of all ages cry, smile, and cheer.
