A
girl and her horse, Wandering Star are best friends. They roam wild and free in
the world of dreams, and wherever they go there is magic.
A girl’s
love for her horse makes this is an enchanting tale of friendship and discovery
as the pair take part in adventures. Fears are faced in a dark cave and
twinkling glow worm lights come to the rescue. In the whole world the most
magical place of all is a bay on the coast, with frolicking dolphins and seals.
The
illustrations and words dance and sway together to delight with wonder and awe.
This book has a dreamy quality with its clever rhythm and pattern created with
both the words and pictures. This is a book that bursts with joy. Girls that
love horses will adore this book.
