This exquisitely illustrated, dramatic, large-format story about the bond between a horse and her owner as she grows up is a landmark picture book for international award winner Leo Timmers First there was a long, windy road. Then I heard voices. The gate lowered . . . and there she was. Kiki. It took her a while to get used to me, but she was a fast learner. Kiki did everything for me. She watered me, kept me warm, groomed me, and fed me. Kiki loved me. And I loved her. Kiki and her horse explore the landscape together and are inseparable. But Kiki grows older and things change. One day, the horse is alone-and thinks it will be forever. Delicate black-and-white drawings alternate with rich, dramatic paintings to tell a poignant story about inseparable friends and growing up.
