When a beautiful, sparkling princess appears and helps her break free from her carousel, the two of them soar into the sky on a grand journey that takes them to the moon and back.
But where is home for the Carousel Horse? Discovering that might just be the greatest adventure of all.
With a lyrical rhyming text and stunning, luminous illustrations, this is a magical story about following your dreams and finding out where you belong - perfect for sharing at bedtime.
