Hooves or Hands

Author/illustrator Rosie Haine’s picture book Hooves or Hands is a surreal and playful exploration of our relationship with horses.

Which would you rather have? Hooves or hands? Four legs or two? Eat food or hay? Say yay or neigh?

Following Rosie Haine’s acclaimed debut picture book, It Isn’t Rude to be Nude, comes Hooves or Hands, a brilliantly funny tale (or should that be tail?) about imagination and self-belief. Beautifully illustrated in Haine’s distinct style, Hooves or Hands lightheartedly teaches children the wonder of their imagination. Funny, stunning, and always surprising, this book is teeming with charming ideas about the difference between horses and humans.
