I Love You, Little Horse

A beautiful and reassuring "I love you" book that follows a small horse and its parent through their day from beloved author-artist Gianna Marino.

In a beautiful ode to family love, a horse asks its little one how they will spend their day: Listening to birdsong? Smelling flower blossoms? Racing the clouds? Feeling the earth beneath their feet?

As the pair uses their senses to experience the world around them during the day, the shadows grow longer, the sky darker, and the parent horse reassures the foal, “Don’t be afraid, Little Horse. I will hold you and love you.”

In this stunningly illustrated and lyrically told story, Gianna Marino poignantly captures a parent’s love for their child.Praise for I Love You, Little Horse:
