Running with the Horses is a stunning picture book by Alison Lester, the much-loved creator of Are We There Yet? and many other treasured books for children.

Young readers will love this beautifully illustrated classic story of adventure and friendship. TEN-YEAR-OLD NINA lives with her father above the palace stables at the Royal Academy of Dancing Horses.

She loves watching the famous white stallions as they parade for the crowds, but her favourite horse is an ordinary mare called Zelda an old cab horse Nina often pats on her way home from school. When Nina's world changes dramatically, she and her father have to flee from the city.

Their journey over the mountains with Zelda and the stallions seems impossible, with danger at every turn . . .

She has won many awards, including the 2005 Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Picture Book of the Year Award for her much-loved classic Are We There Yet? and the 2012 CBCA Eve Pownall Book of the Year Award for One Small Island.

Her picture books include Running with the Horses, a story based on the evacuation of the world-famous Lipizzaner horses from the Spanish Riding School in Vienna during World War Two; One Small Island, about the possibility of hope and environmental preservation for a World Heritage listed island and for the world itself; Sophie Scott Goes South about a little girl's voyage to Antarctica and the sense of wonder that it brings; Kissed by the Moon, a lyrical celebration of the natural world and all that it has to offer a child; and My Dog Bigsy to name just a few.

Alison lives on a farm in the Victorian countryside. She spends part of each year travelling to schools around Australia, helping students and teachers develop their own stories.
