Buffalo Song

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Bill Farnsworth. Based on the true story of a Salish Indian, this slightly romanticized telling explains how, in the 1870s, Walking Coyote raised orphaned buffalo calves, helping save the overhunted North American buffalo from possible extinction. Dramatic oil-paint illustrations capture the expanse of the western landscape. An afterword provides more information about Walking Coyote and about further efforts to protect buffalo.
