In simple words and brilliant paintings that sweep and stampede 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 contentedly beside them as they grazed among flowers near her village. One day a thunderstorm drove the girl and the horse 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 welcomed her to live with them.
