The empowering story of a little girl overcoming a big fear with the help of her family and a horse named Magic Dom wishes she were brave enough to ride a horse--if only horses weren't so huge and intimidating Momma says it's normal to have the jitters at first, but Dom isn't sure she'll ever feel ready. She spends time with Magic, her favorite horse, and he seems to understand her worries, and even lets her brush him. This gives Dom the boost she needs, and sure enough, when she finally does get in the saddle, she's thrilled to discover the frightened ba-bum, ba-bum of her heart transforming into a happy beat in rhythm with Magic's steady clip-clop, clip-clop. Lyrical text and stunning light-filled paintings beautifully capture the touching bond between Dom and Magic as Dom gains the confidence to ride, reassuring readers that everyone tries new things at their own pace.
