A girl declares all the things she'll do for her mother when she is all grown up-from climbing mountains and swimming across oceans, to picking the pinkest rose, to building the biggest bridge and a castle for her mother to live in, to taming a wild black horse for her mother to ride-ending with the friend she will bring her mother to keep her company while she travels the world. Originally published in 1964, A Rose, a Bridge, and a Wild Black Horse is a new edition of a beloved picture book by renowned children's book author Charlotte Zolotow, reenvisioned by her daughter, celebrated author Crescent Dragonwagon, and illustrated by award-winning artist Julie Morstad. The book includes an afterword by Crescent Dragonwagon about her mother and this special new edition of their book.
