My Pony Wonder

Illustrated by Ramona Kaulitzki
Join a young rider and her pony on a trail ride adventure in this tender ode to the power of friendship and trust shared between a child and animal.

Easy gallop,
wild and free.
Endless fun,
you and me.

A girl boot-stomp-runs at the call of her pony’s whinny, both excited for a day of trail riding. After brushing his smooth coat and shiny mane and picking his hooves clean, it’s time to saddle up for a trail ride through the woods!

Through lyrical, bouncy verses, Jessica Milo invites readers to experience the beauty and wonder of the outdoors through the eyes of a young rider and her pony. As the pair trots and gallops along, they delight in each new sight, finding comfort in one another during moments of uncertainty, and ultimately, sharing precious time together.

Readers will get a glimpse at what it’s like to care for a pony and how to prepare for a trail ride. Charmingly illustrated by bestselling artist Ramona Kaulitzki, this rhythmic picture book is a tribute to the animal friends in our lives and for any kid who dreams of riding a pony!
