This was an important book for me as a child. One of the few books with a “Native American“ storyline, and my childhood self understood the rarity.

While not from my ancestral tribes, this was a story from my ancestral world. I loved this story and would spend untold hours studying the illustrations.

Just reread this, and the story is still as profound to me today as it had been all those many years ago. I've fallen in love all over again. 👇

AnnCrystal The following is unrelated to this book, yet equally aligned with my childhood obsession of horses because of this book.

Was raised to know that there was a breed of horse “already here“ in the Americas. My mom told me this as a little girl, and I continued to believe even when I later read otherwise. 👇

AnnCrystal Now articles about this fact are being reported, about the survival of the original horse breed from before these lands were known as the Americas.

While I love all breeds of horses 🐴💝🐎, this is just absolutely fantastically epic!
