The Gift of the Sacred Dog by Paul Goble

The Gift of the Sacred Dog by Paul Goble

A brave boy goes into the hills and prays for help for his people. A rider on a magnificent animal comes to him and says: This animal is called the Sacred Dog. He can do many things your dogs can do and also more.He is as the wind: gentle but sometimes frightening. The clouds close and suddenly one by one countless Sacred Dogs course down from the sky. And so the courage of one determined boy is rewarded by the Great Spirit: The horse, or Sacred Dog, is given to his tribe.

Paul Goble's wonderful books have gained widespread recognition, including Buffalo Woman, Dream Wolf, Her Seven Brothers, and The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses, which won the 1979 Caldecott Medal. Horn Book Magazine remarked of his work in Beyond the Ridge, Standout parts integrate the images with the narrative and spiritual aspects of the text. His method, according to the New York Times Book Review, is a magnificent blend of authentic design and contemporary artistry. I Sing for the Animals, Paul Goble's most recent book for Bradbury Press, was described by Kirkus Reviews as a wonderful, tiny book that movingly conveys genuine belief in the goodness of creation, and School Library Journal stated it fits as effortlessly in the hand as Goble's thoughts on the natural world do in the heart.
