Black Diamond was the fastest, the best. After every race he’d stand with a wreath around his neck while cameras clicked and smiling people called him champ. But when he stumbles and hurts his leg, all that vanishes. Black Diamond’s new home has high walls topped with razor wire, and the men who live there are called prisoners. Will anyone in this strange new place think he’s the best, treat him like a champ?

Young readers who enjoy both the thrill of horseracing and the special bond between humans and horses will find much to savor within this richly illustrated, profoundly moving tale.
Deborah Blumenthal and her husband, Ralph Blumenthal, live with their children in New York City.
Miles Hyman’s rich, painterly art has appeared in the New Yorker, Rolling Stone, Family Circle, and on hundreds of book covers.

Aunt Claire had sharp red-painted nails and wore a purple ribbon in her yellow beehive hair. Curious Annie longs to know more about her family than the stories told around the table. One rainy day, Grandma Marilyn takes out dusty photos, faded letters, and a fragile wedding bouquet while telling the stories that bind them together.

She feels closer to a great-grandmother she never knew as she places on her head the wedding veil that Great-Grandma Sophie wore long ago. Connected to her past, Annie creates a special scrapbook with room at the end to add to as her family grows....
