I loved this book when I was a child, and it's still great. It tells the story of a Native American girl who loved wild horses. When the herd living near her tribe flees in fright from a storm, she jumps on the back of one and is carried far away from her tribe. She is seen later, living as one amon...

This is a book that the school I'm student teaching at has as required text from the people who make the schools lesson plans. I read this to my kids a couple of weeks ago and boy did this book confuse my students as well as me. But it did hit home the fact that we were going to be wondering about a...

He is ...
A bibliophile's delight!
Beautiful story telling but it might be a better book to read to an older child with patience, its interesting to read but a young child might quickly be bored with it.
3.5 stars. This is the story of a girl who has a passion for horses. I have to be honest and say that didn't really find the story to be particularly riveting or memorable.

As it has been years since I read this book, this will be an incomplete review.I understand that my opinion is not the norm, but I did not like this book near as much as I thought I would. The illustrations are amazing and probably do deserve the award. Native American myths are usually interesting ...
