Book Synopsis

As they await the birth of a new foal, a man teaches his grandchild about the Ojibwe Horses that used to roam the forests of northwestern Ontario. The horses once ran wild and free, but when Grandfather was a boy, they almost disappeared. Now he is the caretaker of his own small herd, keeping the breed alive for future generations and teaching his grandchild about the loving bond between human and animals. This dual language edition contains the story in both Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe) and English.

Review Quotes

"The Anishinaabemowin/English text would be great as a read-aloud in the classroom as well as in a classroom library to encourage learners to seek more stories told by Indigenous storytellers and authors.... a great resource to stimulate a variety of questions and discussions on topics such as stewardship, relationship, responsibility, impacts of technology and loss of traditional practices."
