A reimagined edition of A Rose, a Bridge, and a Wild Black Horse—the classic picture book by a legendary author and a beloved illustrator, about a girl and her mother, with themes of growing up, dreams, and letting go.
 
A girl declares all the things she’ll do for her mother when she is all grown up—from climbing mountains and swimming across oceans, to picking the pinkest rose, to building the biggest bridge and a castle for her mother to live in, to taming a wild black horse for her mother to ride—ending with the friend she will bring her mother to keep her company while she travels the world.
 
Originally published in 1964, A Rose, a Bridge, and a Wild Black Horse is a beloved picture book by renowned children’s book author Charlotte Zolotow, reenvisioned by her daughter, celebrated author Crescent Dragonwagon, and illustrated by award-winning artist Julie Morstad.
 
The book includes an afterword by Crescent Dragonwagon about her mother and this special edition of their book.

Sophia T. ★★★★★

My kid immediately started talking about what she’d put on her own imaginary island after reading it. The reimagined illustrations bring a fresh, dreamy feel to an already lovely story about a mother and daughter.

Daniel F. ★★★★★

The way the mother and daughter interact in the reimagined illustrations feels so tender and real, it actually made me tear up the first time I read it. My son asks for it every night now.

Ella ★★★★★

I've been reading this to my daughter every night since it arrived, and the way the illustrations capture that dreamy, in-between feeling of childhood is just perfect. The reimagined edition really brings out the bond between the girl and her mother in a way I'd never noticed before.
