Silver King Wild Horse of the Rockies: 1

A late-spring blizzard is howling through the Rocky Mountains when a gray mare named Bess gives birth to a pure white colt. Within minutes the wolves close in, and out of the storm comes Ghost Horse, the legendary stallion the mountain people named for the way he appears from nowhere whenever his herd is in danger.The colt is his son. He will need to be.Growing up in his father's shadow, the white colt learns to read the wind, hold the high ground, and put the herd before himself. He earns his name the day he leads a band of trapped yearlings out of a horse trader's box canyon by breaking the gate down with his own chest. But a one-eyed black wolf is nursing a grudge, the hardest winter in living memory is coming, and when leadership passes to Silver King at the worst possible moment, saving his band will mean walking down off the mountain and trusting a human for the very first time.A Christmas Eve, a struggling ranch family, and an open barn door change everything.Told first around a farmhouse stove in 1960s North Dakota, then at bedtimes and campfires for two generations after, Silver King is an illustrated read-aloud adventure about courage, loyalty, and kindness that comes back around.
