Rain and the Reading Horse

Attention, all horse lovers! Here’s a gentle, gorgeously illustrated meditation on the healing power of our relationship with animals and overcoming our fears, for readers of I Talk Like a River and Rescue & Jessica.

When a shy young girl attends a school program to read to a horse called Snow, she doesn’t know what to expect–other than to be nervous about reading aloud. Her words often get stuck, but Snow’s calm and reassuring company slowly builds her confidence. Rain and the Reading Horse is a beautiful celebration of a girl’s relationship with a horse and the slow but persistent ways we can confront our fears.
