"5 stars for all of Goble's books" according to Kellia J.. After reading "The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses," which is Paul Goble's only award winning book that I know of, we have started collecting his books. We've found that all of them have been as beautiful illustrations and wonderful stories. I love the spirituality in these stories- they all have a very moving message about Creation and respect for the animal. "Five Stars" according to Ellen. Everything was perfect. A pleasure doing business with you.. Lovely Story Paul Goble is one of my favorite children's authors. This is a lovely booknice story and beautifully illustrated. A perfect gift for a child.
