Paul Goble était un auteur et illustrateur primé de livres pour enfants, dont la fascination de toute une vie pour les Amérindiens des plaines, née dans son enfance, a profondément façonné son œuvre. Ses illustrations capturent méticuleusement les vêtements, les coutumes et les environnements de ces peuples avec des couleurs vives et des détails complexes. Goble s'est inspiré d'histoires anciennes, les racontant à nouveau pour le jeune public avec une profonde sympathie pour les modes de vie amérindiens. Son approche combine magistralement l'habileté artistique avec un profond respect pour la tradition et la spiritualité, rendant ses livres à la fois captivants et instructifs.

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.
