If a Horse Had Words
Author: Kelly Cooper
Publisher: National Geographic Books
ISBN: 1101918721
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
For horse-loving readers of all ages, a lyrical and exquisitely illustrated picture book following the relationship between a boy and a horse, separated then reunited. This is a story about enduring friendships and how language is shaped by our experiences. The foal is born on a spring morning of sunshine and snow melt. If she had words, she would say willow, crocus, puddle and sky . . . Red Badger is a newborn foal learning to stand when she slips and gets stuck in a muddy badger hole. It is a young boy who frees her, and his kindness and gentleness mark the beginning of their friendship -- though she will always be wary of the ground that briefly trapped her. As the seasons pass on the ranch, Red Badger learns more about her world: Fall is leaf rustle and fence posts. Winter is white hills and long nights. The boy is hay, a gentle touch, playing in the snow and the sweet smell of peppermints. If a horse had words, the word would be . . . friend. This is a beautifully written and heartwarming story told from the horse's point of view that follows her relationship with a boy from the day she is born, to when she is sent to auction, to the day she and the boy are reunited at a rodeo where she has become a bronc and he a cowboy.

Book Description
Teachers and lessons come when we least expect them and often in ways we may not imagine. With reflections on how the horse experience migrates into the way we think of ourselves and of others, and translates into everyday life, this book captures the profound realizations that come from being with a horse. Whether you are an experienced rider or horse owner, or have only imagined a horse in your life, you will be convinced that this compelling messenger is calling and that the invitation is life changing. As a powerful connection to the natural world, the horse enables us to grasp the fundamentals of life, which we may not otherwise have had the opportunity to understand. On subjects such as trust, rhythm, empowerment, awareness, forgiveness, and patience, the author explores how horses have enriched her life and changed her perspectives. Combined with the text are Mark J. Barrett's photographs of horses, which express the romance, power, and beauty of these noble animals. His sensitivity and love for the subject are evident in each expressive image. Book jacket.
