Arno and his horse by Jane Godwin and Felicita Sala.

Arno and his horse by Jane Godwin and Felicita Sala. 

Scribble, 2020.

Arno had a horse, it was brown and it was black. He took it with him everywhere, but did he bring it back? When Arno loses his precious toy horse, all the kids in town help him to look for it. They look everywhere, but will Arno ever see his horse again? A touching story about memory, dreams, and the mysterious ways we feel connected to those we love.

A bit confusing, with disconnects between text and illustrations – but not in a good way.

It’s also a story about death and grief, but that seems almost an afterthought. Rhyming text.
