Bonnie is going to have a foal. But though Nora checks the mare before and after school, and walks her around the yard for exercise, the foal does not come. The night of Nora's school concert, Gramp stays home, but the foal does not come. The next night Nora checks the barn six times. "Is it born yet?" everyone at school asks. But it is not. And then—it is. A perfect, beautiful little brown colt. And when Nora names him, she gives him the perfect name.

Both words and pictures create an experience that no one is ever too old or too young to find thrilling.
