little girl's parents are getting a divorce and she's dealing with a lot of feelings that are visualized in the book. I want to be a horse and run away, she thinks to herself. Feelings of chldren in this situation are validated. The little girls doesn't want to talk abou it at first, but eventually

does. She's assured that she/mom and she/dad will still do the same special things together and they will still love her the same.
