About Horse Raid: An action‑filled Plains Indian coming‑of‑age story following fourteen‑year‑old Lone Bull, a young Lakota determined to prove his bravery by joining a horse‑raiding party against the Crow. When his father refuses to let him participate, Lone Bull and his friend secretly follow the warriors with help from his grandfather, hoping to earn honor through courageous deeds.

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.
