Someone is calling me.
My ears flicker this way and that, alert to the sound. The earth’s heartbeat pulses through my hooves and legs. I am made of leaf and sky, of water and stars.
A creature of courage and hope.
A companion when you are lost.
A friend when you are alone.
About the book
The horse arrives in the storm, when Merryn needs him most ...
'Tender and poignant, with dynamic blue-and-white illustrations, it’s a gorgeous, hopeful story for 9+.' THE GUARDIAN
The horse arrives in the storm, when Merryn needs him most, following the loss of her father. Sorrel is a dreamlike creature, seemingly made from the woods and the sea. Perhaps she wished him into existence.
He becomes her friend and confidant. Throughout the summer and autumn, they ride and play, but as Christmas approaches, it will require all of Merryn’s new-found strength to help her mum and her sisters heal too.
- A perfect gift for readers aged 9 and up; all the makings of a modern classic.
- Stunningly presented: a fully illustrated, beautiful jacketed hardback with blue ink interior printing
- Explores themes of grief, family and healing in an accessible way for young readers.
