And when they fight, they don't use words: it's all \u003ci\u003epush, pull, hurt, hide. \u003c\/i\u003eTo cool off after, the boy retreats to his room to write and draw stories--stories about terrible horses trampling and galloping, while he is a lone pony unable to compete or speak or sleep. One morning, the boy wakes up to find his sketchbook missing, taken by his sister. What now? Will this make things worse, or could it help them to finally understand each other? With empathy and simplicity, \u003ci\u003eTerrible Horses\u003c\/i\u003e has much to say about using creativity to rein in anger, reflect, and see life through someone else's eyes.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRaymond Antrobus\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eCan Bears Ski?\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by Polly Dunbar, his picture book debut.
