Jennifer Dance wrote a book that manages to portray our history with a horse as the main character. The concept is amazing, and the execution of that concept is masterful. As a story about a horse, this is a great book, but there is so much more, and the book goes so much deeper, that it becomes a history lesson and a commentary on what we did (do) to the land and the people on it.

Pure geniu Paint by Jennifer Dance is a touching story of a horse that lived in the 1800's. Paint was orphaned and found by a Lakota boy and their connection is deep. They are separated when the U.S. Cavalry raids the Lakota camp and Paint begin her journey with various owners, including settlers of the Canadian plains. Ultimately this book is about the destruction of the Aboringinal People's in Canada. From the start I loved Paint; a gentle, social and smart horse. Ms Dance descriptions of Paint and Noise Horse, her first owner was lyrical and the horrors of their brutal separation vividly described. The descriptions of the land, the harshness of the settler life were engrossing and real. An excellent, descriptive and gratifying read. I read this book in one sitting and thought about Paint for days after. Thank you Netgalley for giving me this opportunity to review this book. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
CCBC's Best Books for Kids & Teens (Fall 2015) - Commended The life story of a painted mustang set against the backdrop of America's Great Plains in the late 1800s. It's the late 1800s. A Lakota boy finds an orphaned mustang foal and brings her back to his family's camp, naming her Paint for her black-and-white markings. Boy and horse soon become inseparable. Together they learn to hunt buffalo, their fear of the massive beasts tempered by a growing trust in each other.When the U.S. Cavalry attacks the camp, the pair is forced onto separate paths. Paint's fate becomes entwined with that of settlers, who bring irreversible change to the grassland, setting the stage for environmental disaster. Bought and sold several times, Paint finally finds a home with English pioneers on the Canadian Prairie.With a great dust storm looming on the horizon, man and horse will need to work together if they hope to survive.
