Annotated Bibliography #47

The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses by Paul Goble

In many cultures, particularly many Native American tribes, horses are revered, and many stories are told of them. This book appears to be one of those stories; an oral tale finally written down, or so it seems. There is a girl who is so fascinated with the wild horses that she works being around them into her everyday existence. One day, she falls asleep on the plains surrounded by the wild horses. She is awakened by a violent storm that causes the horses to flee with her astride on of them. Her family searches for two years before they finally find her, but she doesn't want to come back: she feels more at home with the horses.
