Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"There was a girl in the village who loved horses... She led the horses to drink at the river. She spoke softly and they followed. People noticed that she understood horses in a special way."
And so begins the story of a young Native American girl devoted to the care of her tribe's horses. With simple text and brilliant illustrations. Paul Goble tells how she eventually becomes one of them to forever run free.
Originally published 1978.
Though she is fond of her people, a girl prefers to live among the wild horses where she is truly happy and free.
