Best Nonfiction Book For Horse Lovers 2022: Literary Illustration Of Magnificence

Kindness, not violence or hatred, is the most subversive agent of social change, and this is true even in the most politically charged of environments. Black Beauty, which was published in 1877 and told the story of a horse that lived in the 19th century, was so kind, compassionate, and dignified in its telling that it was the impetus for the first national movement in the United States that advocated for the humane treatment and care of animals.

✅ Best Nonfiction Horse Book Black Beauty Sharon Lerner

Gorgeous version of Black Beauty! – Sharon Lerner and Susan Jeffers’ retelling of BLACK BEAUTY is magnificent. Nobody illustrates horses as masterfully as Jeffers. Every page is a work of art to be appreciated over and over for its detail, design, emotion, energy and sheer beauty. Lerner’s narrative, written from the horse’s point of view, is lyrical, clear and evocative of deep emotional content. This should be a standard in every child’s library.

NPR’s Backseat Book Club has chosen Black Beauty as their November Book of the Month, and on NPR, Michele Norris interviews Jane Smiley, an equestrian author who won the Pulitzer Prize, about how one of the most unassuming horses in literary history became one of its most subversive characters.
