Illustrated by
Daniel San Souci.
Newborn wild mustang Little Pinto travels with the herd in search of water, observes a challenge to the band's leadership from a rogue stallion, and is temporarily separated from his mother while fleeing a low-flying airplane. Carefully crafted prose builds character, drama, and atmosphere without resorting to anthropomorphism or quaintness. Stunning watercolors capture the rich reds of the Western desert landscape.
