Praise for this book

"Readers will almost feel the wind in their hair and hear the thunder of hooves as they are inspired to pursue their dreams. Beautiful."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Marino's silhouettes should make it easy for readers to imagine themselves in the story, a contemplative tribute to children's deeply felt desires for a pet and how one's imagination can almost bring those fantasies to life."--Publishers Weekly

"An invigorating opportunity for individuals or groups to participate in a glorious moment--inside out."--School Library Journal
