Feivel’s Flying Horses

Submitted by Ms. Allana!
Feivel’s Flying Horses by Heidi Smith Hyde. For many children who love the wonder, pleasure, and excitement of riding a carousel, a book about “flying” horses is indeed a treasure. I am partial to carousels, and the beautifully crafted horses that adorn them, so I instantly took to this book. This is a story about a man’s love for his family, and his desire to make a better life for them. With wonderful ink line and water color illustrations by Johanna Van Der Sterre, the story of Feivel and his new life in America captures the heart, as the woodcarver strives to make enough money to send for his loved ones. He carves a special feature into each horse, to remind him of every member of his family. It’s a very touching and uplifting story, suitable for Kindergarten age and up.
