| 1 | The White Pony | 1999 | Sandra Byrd | Buy |
Sandra Byrd’s picture book work includes The White Pony (1999), published early in her career alongside her children’s chapter book series. The book is aimed at younger readers than her Secret Sisters and Hidden Diary series.
The White Pony tells a story for preschool and early-elementary readers, making it the youngest-skewing title in Byrd’s catalog. By 1999, she was already writing chapter books for older kids, so this picture book represents an experiment in reaching a different age group.
Byrd went on to write extensively for adults, including historical fiction and inspirational romance. The White Pony remains a small piece of her early output, and copies are now difficult to find. Readers who know Byrd only from her adult novels may be surprised to learn she started with children’s books.
