Title: The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses
Author: Paul Goble
Published: Aladdin
First thing: When I read this book from my childhood memories I felt as if part of my childhood came to life. Every element of this book signifies just how much the little girl loves her equine friends. She has this connection that is deeper than anything that goes beyond to anyone that knows and loves something. This book entails a true sacred-spiritual love that will leave anyone wanting it for themselves. What is great about this book is the detail work; the drawings are so rich and color deep, the landscape all the way down to the smallest detail is a beautiful work.
Summary: For most people, being swept away in a horse stampede during a raging thunderstorm would be a terrifying disaster. For the young Native American girl in Paul Goble's 1979 Caldecott-winning masterpiece, The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses, it is a blessing. Although she loves her people, this girl has a much deeper, almost sacred connection to her equine friends. The storm gives her the opportunity to fulfill her dream--to live in a beautiful land among the wild horses she loves
Last thing: So go ahead and grab this book for yourself, your childhood memories, or for your childhood’s memory. It will leave you with a spiritual bond between what you are passion about and that you always love what you do.
