Reach for this book when your child feels like an underdog or struggles with the pressure to perform. It is particularly resonant for children who find solace in animals or feel they don't quite fit the mold of what 'success' looks like in their peer group. The story follows Pippa, an orphan who is chosen to compete in a high stakes race for the gods, but she is paired with a small, unconventional winged horse named Zephyr rather than a majestic stallion. At its heart, this is a story about the strength found in kindness and the power of a quiet, steady bond. While it features the grand backdrop of Greek mythology, the emotional weight lies in Pippa's resilience and her refusal to give up on her partner. It is a perfect choice for middle grade readers who enjoy high stakes adventure but need a narrative that validates internal worth over external status. The book handles themes of belonging and perseverance with a gentle hand, making it accessible and deeply encouraging.
