Paul Goble
Paul Goble paints horses with such powerful controlled energy. No wonder he received the Caldecott Medal for The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses in 1978.
Readers will be enchanted as he tells of an abandoned horse and the boy who loves him. Together they have a grand adventure, but one that almost ends in betrayal. Based on a Pawnee legend that celebrates our connection to the natural world, this book includes breathtaking, spirited horses: bays, chestnuts, shiny blacks, whites, grays, and paints. The art resonates with the story, and every detail is based on a lifetime of research into Plains Indian life, making this a fabulous gift for all who love horses, Indian culture, and rousing stories.
Paul Goble moved to the Black Hills of South Dakota from England as a young man. He was recently honored as a Doctor of Humane Letters by the University of South Dakota, Brookings, for his contribution to literature and the preservation of Indian lore. His outstanding books, apart from the Caldecott-winning The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses, include Beyond the Ridge, Her Seven Brothers, Buffalo Woman, and Storm Maker’s Tipi.
