Illustrated by
Ted Dewan.
When a sand drawing of a horse comes to life, she makes a wish not to vanish with the tide. Other horses such as boardwalk merry-go-round figures help her, until the girl who helped draw the Sandmare sends her to join the stars. This fluffy piece of whimsy may find a match with the right sensibility. Black-and-white spot art breaks up the text, welcoming newly independent chapter-book readers.
