Paint is the story of a black-and-white mustang. Her life takes us through the history of the development of the Great Plains; the near extinction of the buffalo; the plight of the Plains Indians whose lives depended on them; and the struggles of the ranchers and homesteaders who moved onto what had previously been Indian territory.
CCBC''s Best Books for Kids & Teens (Fall 2015) - Commended
The life story of a painted mustang set against the backdrop of Americas Great Plains in the late 1800s.
Its the late 1800s. A Lakota boy finds an orphaned mustang foal and brings her back to his familys camp, naming her Paint for her black-and-white markings. Boy and horse soon become inseparable. Together they learn to hunt buffalo, their fear of the massive beasts tempered by a growing trust in each other.
When the U.S. Cavalry attacks the camp, the pair is forced onto separate paths. Paints fate becomes entwined with that of settlers, who bring irreversible change to the grassland, setting the stage for environmental disaster. Bought and sold several times, Paint finally finds a home with English pioneers on the Canadian Prairie.
With a great dust storm looming on the horizon, man and horse will need to work together if they hope to survive.
