Arnold the Smiling Horse, by Karine
Nguyen-Tuong, a schoolteacher in
Charlottesville,
Virginia is the story of a young horse that lives on
Winged Horse Island. Born without wings,
Arnold goes searching for his wings and for
answers to his many questions. Through his
travels, he learns that one of his special qualities
will take him as far as his wings would, if not
farther. Arnold the Smiling Horse is a tender story that
touches the adult as much as the child. In these
times of war and dissention, it is wonderful as
well as reassuring to be reminded of the power of
the smile. Nguyen-Tuongs photographs of the
Outer Banks Winged Horse Extravaganza horses
provide beautiful images for this book.
