They misunderstand each other, struggle to communicate, and they fight. Afterwards, theres a lot of hurt, heavy feelings and loneliness. In order to escape their constant rowing and clear his head, the boy often retreats to his bedroom when he writes his stories. He writes stories about terrible horses – trampling and galloping – and he, a lone pony, who cannot compete and cannot speak. But what happens when his sister finds his book? Could it be a way for them to finally understand each other? Filled with empathy and poignance, Terrible Horses is a beautiful and powerful story of managing anger, reflection and learning to see someone elses perspective.

Review Ken Wilson-Maxs illustrations artfully combine depictions of the children in their home alongside the inner world of the young boys feelings and imagination, with the horses rendered in brightly coloured pencil marks. -- Imogen Carter * The Observer *A picture book about empathy and loneliness. * The Bookseller *Raymond Antrobus has penned a seemingly simple tale of sibling rivalry, but its one that conveys feelings relating to discord and empathy, both of which Ken Wilson-Max captures so adeptly in his illustrations of humans and of horses. * Red Reading Hub *A poignant, expressive picture book about fraught sibling relationships. -- Imogen Russell Williams * The Guardian *Ken Wilson-Maxs powerful mixed media, somewhat whimsical scenes, work beautifully in tandem with the authors carefully chosen, poetic words... Altogether a demonstration of how storytelling can result in better understanding between people. * Books for Keeps * Details ISBN1529520932 Author Ken Wilson-Max Pages 32 Audience Age 3-7 Publisher Walker Books Ltd Year 2024 Illustrator Ken Wilson-Max ISBN-13 9781529520934 Format Paperback Publication Date 2024-10-03 Imprint Walker Books Ltd Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom Audience Children / Juvenile UK Release Date 2024-10-03 Subtitle A Story of Sibling Conflict and Companionship ISBN-10 1529520932 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
