A Horse Named Sky by Rosanne Parry is a moving animal adventure told from the perspective of Sky, a young wild horse living in the American West. When Sky is separated from his family band, he must survive capture, danger, unfamiliar humans, and a changing landscape while trying to find his way back to freedom and belonging.
The book blends animal survival, family, courage, wild horse ecology, freedom, resilience, and the human impact on nature. It has that “wild heart running across open country, looking for home” feeling. 🐎

Content note: Includes animal capture, separation from family, danger, injury, wildfires, predators, and emotional survival moments, but it is written for middle grade readers.
