Goble,
P. (1978). The girl who loved wild horses. New York: Bradbury
Press.
The
Girl Who Loved Wild Horses is a tale celebrating the Native American culture. A
village girl with a special connection to horses finds her comfort in spending
time with them. During an overwhelming storm, she is carried away with the herd
where a spotted wild stallion becomes the leader. Two years later, she is found
by her tribe and brought home. Her parents allow her to return to her horse
family where she remains.
Before
his death in 2017, Paul Goble lived in Rapid City, South Dakota, which is an
area with heavy Sioux influence. The artwork in Goble’s book reminds me of when
I lived there from kindergarten to second grade, an appropriate audience for
this book. I respect Goble’s work and how his drawings and storytelling style
are true to the culture that it reflects.
