A contemporary countryside tale about the power of friendship and creativity, from the nation's favourite children's author.

A beautiful countryside story for Michael Morpurgo fans, illustrated by Olivia Lomenech Gill (J. K. Rowling's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them). Bonny has always wanted to be a top cyclist, maybe even a future Olympic champion. But her world changes after meeting a sculptor named Lizzie, who gives her a job on her farm. Bonny is introduced to a life-sized sculpture of Lizzie's horse and is allowed to pose as its rider, a completely magical experience. She learns from Lizzie that a true gift is never to be wasted, and that if you "breathe the world in deep", you can do anything.

  • From the author of the internationally acclaimed War Horse. 
  • An inspiring and empowering story about a girl who discovers a hidden talent. 
  • Beautifully illustrated by Olivia Lomenech Gill, who previously collaborated with Michael and Clare Morpurgo on the picture book Where My Wellies Take Me, which was nominated for the Kate Greenaway medal. She also illustrated J. K. Rowling's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
