The Girl Who Loved Wild horses
By Paul Goble
This was a Caldecott Winner
From the Book jacket:
In simple words and brilliant paintings that sweep and stam pede across his
pages, Paul Goble tells of a Native American girl's love of horses.
Her people saw that she understood the herd in a special way. The horses
would follow her to drink at the river. And in the hot sun she would sleep
con tentedly beside them as they grazed among flowers near her village.
One day a thunderstorm drove the girl and the horses far from home, and the
people were frightened. The girl was lost beneath strange, moonlit cliffs;
yet, next morning, she was glad, for a beautiful stallion who was the leader
of the wild horses wel comed her to live with them.
PAUL GOBLE is in Residence at the Gall Indian and Western Arts at Mt.
Rushmore National Memorial in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
Among his other books are:
THE FRIENDLY WOLF
"A young Plains Indian boy and his sister, bored with berry-picking, wander
off and become lost. They take overnight shelter in a wolfs den, and, in
answer to their pleas for help, the wolf leads them home. Their tribe honors
the wolf and declares friendship with the wolf people ... The clear text is
complemented by colorful, full-page illustrations which present accurate,
richly detailed information about Indian life...A splendid resource for
children..." School Library Journal (starred review)
LONE BULL'S HORSE RAID
"The Plains Indians needed horses for hunting buffalo and hauling their
possessions...This story tells of Lone Bull's first horse raid and the
battle it led to, which enabled Lone Bull to stand before his people as a
warrior. . .Magnificent color illustrations full of rich detail... in this
excellently designed, honest portrayal of the Indian point of view." School
