NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER: A Horse Named Sky
Greenwillow/Harpercollins Publishers
August 2023
Written by Rosanne Parry, Illustrated by Kirbi Fagan
A stand-alone companion to the acclaimed national bestsellers A Wolf Called Wander and A Whale of the Wild.
Chronicling the perils of westward expansion and the grueling Pony Express from the perspective of a wild horse, A Horse Named Sky is a gripping animal survival story about family, courage, trust, leadership, and loyalty. Impeccably researched and illustrated in black-and-white throughout, A Horse Named Sky is an excellent read-aloud for parents and teachers, and a wonderful choice for fans of DreamWorks’s Spirit and Anna Sewell’s Black Beauty.
Includes black-and-white illustrations throughout, a map, and extensive backmatter about wild horses and their habitats.
For grade levels 3rd-7th
