This is a delightful story based on true events of a little girl , named Irie, who really, Really, REALLY wanted a real horse. You must read the book to find out what she got in the end. The illustrations are mostly in black and white which gives children the opportunity to color the pages, and become an integral part of the story. I bought this book for my children and I hope you do also. I recommend it highly. Written and Illustrated by Audra Coldiron. To purchase this book go to: http:www.audracoldiron.com/store/
