Overview
This inventive nonfiction picture book is a love letter to an overlooked history-maker: the horse. Uniquely structured with galloping prose, Here’s to the Horses takes a poetic look at how the horse has been as integral to shaping human history as the wheel or even electricity.
For thousands of years, humans have been captivated by horses—painting them on cave walls, imagining them among the stars. Yet beyond horses’ beauty lay a powerful partnership. With the horse at our side, we have traveled farther, moved faster, and connected across vast distances.
Horses have carried us into new lands, new ideas, and new chapters of history . . . all without complaint and forever changing how our civilizations have grown, traded, fought, and flourished.
Accompanied by stunning illustrations from critically acclaimed artist, Daniel Miyares, New York Times bestselling author Gideon Sterer delivers a beautiful ode to the horse and their inextricable ties to the development of human history, society, and culture. Perfect for:
- Horse lovers
- History buffs
- Readers who love illustrated nonfiction by Joyce Sidman, Sy Montgomery, Jason Chin and others
