A beautiful picture book about the magic of horses and the power of imagination by Caldecott Honoree and New York Times bestselling artist Susan Jeffers.

I want a pony.
I want a pony more than anything in the world.

A little girl who longs for a pony draws pictures of a dappled mare she names Silver, then rides her through a magical countryside in her dreams. At the heart of Susan Jeffers’s exquisite picture book lies the idea that in her imagination, a child can journey anywhere and do anything—even fly through the stars on her very own pony.

Susan Jeffers effortlessly captures the grace and wonder of horses in this luminous picture book.

  • "Jeffers's own longing for a horse as a youngster—and her childhood love of drawing horses—infuses this tale with a palpable authenticity.... A gentle paean to these awe-inspiring animals and to the power of imagination."
    Publishers Weekly
  • "This quiet, beautifully rendered book will be a good choice for story hours."
    Booklist
