The Carousel
Illustrated by Walter di Qual.
One winter's day my dad and I
Went down to see the carousel.
We stood and watched as round and round
The little horses rose and fell.
So begins the magical journey of a small girl and a wooden horse.
A journey of music and mirrors, of green hills and sunlit skies, of wishes and freedom.
From this much-loved author and brilliant new illustrator comes a glowing, timeless picture book that celebrates the enduring wonder of the carousel.
