Books by Horseback by: Emma Carlson Berne

$17.99

High in the misty hills of Kentucky during the Great Depression, a brave librarian saddles her horse and sets out on a journey through wild terrain — carrying not just books, but hope.

Inspired by the real Pack Horse Librarians of the 1930s, Books by Horseback tells the story of one woman’s courage and determination as she rides through mountains, rivers, and muddy trails to bring the joy of reading to children who have none. Through rain and snow, danger and exhaustion, she presses on — because every child deserves a story.

Emma Carlson Berne’s lyrical storytelling and Carrie Talbot-Ashby’s sweeping, vibrant illustrations honor the spirit of these unsung heroes who delivered knowledge, comfort, and imagination on horseback. Winner of the 2021 Northern Lights Book Award (Historical Category), this picture book is a celebration of literacy, resilience, and the power of one person’s mission to make a difference.
