(unpaged) : $b col. ill. ; $c 28 cm. 520 $a On January's coldest day of the year in a small community in the Northwest Territories, a stranger to horses searches among family and friends for answers to an important question. It's forty below in the little town of Fort Smith in the Northwest Territories of Canada -- so cold that the ravens refuse to fly and author Richard Van Camp can't go outside. He belongs to the Dogrib tribe, whose people traditionally haven't used horses. To help pass the time, he decides to pose the question, "What's the most beautiful thing you know about horses?" to family members, friends, and artist George Littlechild, who is Plains Cree and knows a lot about horses. The answers range from zany to profound: Horses can run sideways; they have secrets; they can always find their way home. In this delightful new book, Littlechild's fanciful paintings perfectly capture Van Camp's gentle world-view. Together, they inspire readers to see the world in entirely new ways. 650 1 $a Horses $v Fiction. 651 1 $a Northwest Territories $v Fiction. 650 1 $a MeÌtis $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Indians of North America $z Canada $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Questions and answers $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Littlechild, George, $e ill. 941 $a 6 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629013222.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20220222010156.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717011727.0 952 $l AHPD597 $d 20160831013534.0 952 $l WHPE115 $m E Van $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UDAX314 $d 20090708133753.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9BA027302AF811DE979B4407A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IOVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
