This book focuses on a horse race during the Naadam festival in Mongolia, in which boys gallop their stallions fourteen miles across the Gobi Desert. The text, accompanied by some nimbly sketched spot art, offers a vivid picture of this traditional culture. Watercolor expanses feature desert vistas, horses in action, and sympathetic portraits of the Mongolian people at home and work. Glos.
