Ancient Thunder
This Governor Award book winner uses stunning illustrations with only a few words per page to help children see, hear and feel the power of wild horses on the prairies. Leo Yerxa, an artist of Ojibway ancestry, conveys the strong connection of nature to First Nations cultures.
This is a beautiful book to share with young children, and to look and talk about what children see,feel and think about when they look at the pictures.
