The Sun not only lifted the scar but sent Star Boy back to the world with the sacred knowledge of the Sun Dance, a ceremony of thanks for the Creator's blessing.. Star Boy was the son of Morning Star and an earthly bride. As Star Boy grew, he came to love the chief's daughter, and it was she who helped him find the courage to journey to the Sky World and make peace with the Sun
"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.
