MULTICULTURAL/INTERNATIONAL
This book is about a group of Native Americans who travel nomadically following the buffalo, their main food source. There was a girl in the tribe who loved horses. She spent all of her time with them and one day got lost with them after a bad storm. Her tribe searched everywhere for her but could not find her. A year later she was found and came back to her tribe only to fall ill from missing the horses. She returned to the wild to live them and came back to visit her family once a year until one year she disappeared and never returned.
I would use this in my classroom as part of the classroom library in order to introduce the students to the Native American culture. This book offers a cultural experience for children because it tells about a girl who loves something so much, she cannot live without it and eventually becomes part of it. She has passion and dedication to her horses, something historically important to the Native American people.
