Simple but profound poetic writing about history, with nice watercolor illustrations that show the painted desert vibes perfectly.

I liked reading about a horse that came from Spain and was discovered by native Americans. The horse is beautiful and is named starfire. The Indians decide to keep her and use her because they viewed the horse as a gift and something that could be useful.

Favorite part: When I see the horse because she is so beautiful with her curly tail and her curly mane and a star on her forehead. And she's golden, that's what I like about her.

Reread a frequent childhood book - still love the beautiful illustrations.
