Book Description
Award-winning nonfiction picture book creator Meghan McCarthy tells the story of how an undersized, crooked-legged horse became one of the greatest racing champions of all time. In the late 1930s, times were tough. The United States was in the middle of the Great Depression, and people were desperate for something to believe in. They found their inspiration in Seabiscuit, a rags-to-riches, crooked-legged, overweight horse who ran more like a duck than a champion. Seabiscuit was the descendent of Man O’ War, one of the greatest racing horses in history but he had yet to win a single race. How did this downtrodden horse come to rise through the ranks and face off against Triple Crown champion, War Admiral? In her trademark easy-to-follow narrative voice, Meghan McCarthy brings the ultimate underdog story to life in this fact-filled picture book.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Wonder-Book of Horses The old charioteer always slept soundly in the morning, and seldom awoke until he heard his young sister, the maiden whom men call Aurora, rapping at the door of his bedroom, and making her voice echo through the halls of the Dawn. Up, up, brother Helios! She would cry. It is time for you to begin your journey again. Up, and delight the world once more with your shin ing morning face and your life-giving presence! Then Helios would hasten to the meadows where his steeds were feeding, and would call them each by name: Come hither, beautiful creatures! Hasten, for Aurora calleth. E65, thou glowing one! Ethon, thou of the burning name! Bronte, thou thunderer! Sterope, thou swifter than light ning! Come quickly!
