If I was a Horse

A child imagines an entire day as a horse — galloping through familiar settings, wondering if they'd fit in their clothes, and whether a little sister would get a ride.

For the kid who turns every hallway into a racetrack and every bedtime into a performance, this book hands that energy a picture-book home.
