Bookroo's summary

Explore the buffalo's dramatic journey from the Plains Indians to the Dust Bowl, and their resurgence in national parks. This tale of survival and revival invites readers to protect nature's balance.

From the publisher

The buffalo, an American icon once nearly extinct, has made a comeback. This stirring picture book tells the dramatic story, following bison from the Plains Indians to the cowboys, Teddy Roosevelt to the Dust Bowl, and from the brink of extinction to the majestic herds that now roam our national parks. Paired with gorgeous paintings by landscape artist Wendell Minor, Jean Craighead George’s engaging text will inspire a new generation to understand and protect nature’s delicate balance.
