About The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses: The story of a Native American girl whose deep bond with horses leads her to live among a wild herd after a storm carries her far from home.

 

About the author: Paul Goble (1933–2017), born in England, devoted his life to sharing Native American traditions through more than 30 illustrated books, including the Caldecott Medal winner The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses. Inspired by childhood stories, he spent summers on reservations, was adopted by Lakota and Yakima people, and settled in South Dakota’s Black Hills in 1977, drawing deeply from Lakota, Cheyenne, and Blackfoot stories to celebrate their culture and wisdom.
