Shadow, the Curious Morgan Horse is a sweet story about a little horse who learns all about the world around her.  She goes through a broken fence and gets lost.  She finds a friend who helps her get back to her mother in the pasture.  She had a lot of fun exploring but was so happy to be close to her mother again.  The world can be a scary place, but when we explore within boundaries and with someone who has been there it is a little nicer.

At first I found the story a little daunting for a children’s book.  Lots of words, not so many pictures.  I’m so glad I got over that and read the story.  It is very sweet.  The pictures are well drawn and very beautiful.  Some I would like to frame for my eldest daughter’s bedroom wall.
