Dawn McMillan and Julia Crouth: Ride A White Horse

By MARGIE THOMSON

The enjoyment of this book lies in its poetic language and the surreal, dreamlike quality of the illustrations.

This is a story for children who enjoy thoughtfulness, and who like to have images built up with words in their minds.

Having said that, there is a real and almost shocking poignancy to the story itself: of a little boy who watches the sea, in his dreams riding the wild white horses in the waves to a shore where his loved, but somehow absent, father waits for him.

An unusual but rich addition to our children's literature.
