‘Let me tell you about my pet. She’s as big as a mountain and she’s got bells and ribbons and she smells like a haystack. And she’s got feathers round her feet.’

Rachel loves living on a narrowboat. There are so many things she loves about it but most of all Rachel loves Snowy, the big and beautiful boat horse. When her teacher asks the class to bring in their pets, what can Rachel do? Snowy has to work. So then a fantastic school trip is organized.

Snowy was the winner of the Children’s Book Award for the best picture book of the year.
