In the middle of the night Sandra is awakened by a voice. It isn’t Daddy’s voice, because he lives with stupid Marit in the old house. But it isn’t Mummy’s either … it belongs to a horse! Once in a while, very rarely, someone succeeds in planting a horse.

This is a unique and touching story about modern families and about finding a new friend when you really, really need one.

Illutstrated by Rune Markhus.
