Morgan Morning
By Stephen Cosgrove
The Story
A young horse's curiosity leads him away from safety and straight into mortal danger, setting off changes to his life that he never could have imagined.
Why It's Special
For the kid who wanders off mid-walk to poke at every puddle and pinecone, this is a story that takes that same curiosity seriously — and follows it somewhere real.
- Big idea: Curiosity is powerful — it can lead us into danger, but it's also what makes us who we are.
- Vibes: Quiet, reflective, and a little haunting — more thoughtful than cozy.
Perfect For Kids Who
- enjoy animal stories with real stakes
- are working on understanding cause and consequence
- like to talk through what might happen next
- respond well to stories that take their feelings seriously
