These beautiful real-life ponies will be here to help celebrate the release of Sarah Maslin Nir‘s new children’s book, The Flying Horse (Once Upon a Horse #1)(Abrams, $16.99)! Sarah is a staff reporter for The New York Times and the author of the new Once Upon a Horseseries of children’s books, featuring true stories from across the equestrian world. Sarah is also the author of the adult nonfiction book Horse Crazy: The Story of a Woman and a World in Love with an Animal. She rides hunters competitively and is the mom of four horses and one pony.
Separated by an ocean, a horse and a girl’s parallel struggles to be their best include lots of luck and grit, some stubbornness, and a few failures. Together they learn that what’s important in life isn’t greatness—it’s being great at being you. Inspired by a real horse and a real girl, The Flying Horse will make horse-lovers’ hearts soar.
Books & Books will donate 10% of proceeds from the sale of the new book in support of Give Back for Special Equestrians and Whispering Manes Therapeutic Riding Center.
