This was one of my favorite books growing up. I especially loved the last line: "You are not alone." That used to comfort me so much as a child.
The cover the book says it's a retelling of a traditional Pawnee tale. The story follows a young boy who is poor and wishes he had a pony of his own. He makes one out of white clay one day and while he's out playing with it, his tribe packs up and moves on, following the trail of some buffalo that were sighted. The boy is left behind. That night he dreams his clay pony is alive and speaking to him. When he wakes up, he finds that the pony really is alive and they both embark on a journey to find his tribe.
I also really enjoyed the artwork. It seemed as though the characters and the scenery were emerging from a dream to tell the story.
All in all, a great book.… (more)
