Wooden Horses

Text by Leta Yugay, illustrated by Yulia Drobova

Meet wooden horses, the oldest toys known to humanity, by a five-time winner of the Illustrators Exhibition at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair.

Every child has likely had a special horse in their life— whether it was a rocking horse, a stick horse, or a charming figurine. The wooden horse is one of the oldest toys known to humanity. From big to small, in shades of bay, red, black, and dappled, both traditionally painted and avant-garde, poet Leta Yugay has gathered horses from all corners of the globe, bringing them galloping into the nursery.
This delightful collection features funny rhymes crafted for little ones and their parents, making it a perfect read-aloud experience.
