In the historical novel Wind Rider, Susan Williams gives an account of how horses may have become domesticated. It is an excellent story in which Fern is transformed from an unaccepted girl not wishing to become a woman to a loving and respected woman who has given much to her community and has become a legend. Beautifully written, it will appeal to a wide range of ages.

Hi,
Thanks so much for choosing Wind Rider as your “book of the month!” What a thrill for me to know that more readers will discover Fern’s prehistoric world of horses. I recently learned that the book is to be published in Germany, and that it will soon be coming out in paperback.
Your younger readers might want to check out my new picture book, Moose Eggs, or Why Moose Have Flat Antlers (Down East Books, September 2007).
Best Wishes,
Susan Williams Beckhorn
