Paul Goble è stato un autore e illustratore pluripremiato di libri per bambini, la cui fascinazione per i nativi americani delle pianure, nata fin dall'infanzia, ha plasmato profondamente la sua opera. Le sue illustrazioni catturano meticolosamente l'abbigliamento, le usanze e gli ambienti di questi popoli con colori vivaci e dettagli intricati. Goble attinse a storie antiche, riscrivendole per il pubblico giovane con profonda empatia per le tradizioni dei nativi americani. Il suo approccio combina magistralmente l'abilità artistica con un profondo rispetto per la tradizione e la spiritualità, rendendo i suoi libri sia accattivanti che illuminanti.

This Cheyenne legend tells of the story behind the Big Dipper (the Plough). An Indian girl makes seven sets of shirts and moccasins to take to seven brothers who live in the North Country where the youngest brother becomes her protector. When they are forced to flee, they all jump into the sky.
"There was a girl in the village who loved horses... She led the horses to drink at the river. She spoke softly and they followed. People noticed that she understood horses in a special way." And so begins the story of a young Native American girl devoted to the care of her tribe's horses. With simple text and brilliant illustrations. Paul Goble tells how she eventually becomes one of them to forever run free.
