If I Was a Horse by Sophie Blackall is a whimsical children’s picture book that explores the boundless imagination of a child envisioning life as a horse. The narrative follows the child’s musings on galloping freely, rolling in the mud, and engaging in everyday activities from a horse’s perspective, such as giving a sibling a ride to school or joining the school swim team. Blackall’s exuberant illustrations bring these playful scenarios to life, celebrating the joy and creativity inherent in childhood fantasies. This book encourages young readers to embrace their imaginations and consider the world from different viewpoints.
