Bookroo's summary
In a village, a young Native American girl shares a unique bond with horses, leading them with gentle whispers. As she grows closer to these majestic creatures, she faces a choice between her people and the wild freedom she craves. Will she embrace her true calling and run free with the horses forever?
From the publisher
“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.
