Description
Young Starlight spends her days beating the dust out of blankets, caring for her family's ponies, and helping her mother pound grain for the tribe's meals. But the evenings are a delightful reward when she gathers with her people to listen to Laughing Bird's stories. Among the wonderful tales is Starlight's favorite: the story of the Twenty-First Pony.
Transporting readers to the starkly beautiful North American plains, author Sandra Byrd and illustrator Alyssa Mehlhorn weave universal storytelling traditions and captivating paintings with solid biblical truth to create an unforgettable allegory of God's immense love through the sacrifice one brave makes for his chosen bride. Please check out Book 2 in this series, Harvest Moon!

Turcotte, Chippewa/Sioux and an enrolled tribal member on the Turtle Mountain Reservation in Rolette, ND; Cherie Kidd-Lovely, Nez Perce and Cherokee; and Howie Picard, Cayuse, for reading the book, reviewing the illustrations, and offering encouragement and suggestions for accuracy and cultural sensitivity.
This book was originally published in 1999 under the title, The White Pony. It has been retitled to reflect all-new paintings by a new illustrator.
