This is the story of a little boy visiting his grandma’s house, only it isn’t just her grandson visiting but his horses too. A beautifully illustrated story of a kindly grandmother and a cheeky little boy spending their days in her small house, with a growing number of horses. Highlighting the love and care between grandparents and grandchildren, with some humour and mishaps along the way, this also offers an insight into the parenting style and family expression of life in China.
