On his deathbed, Tayhua asks to be alone with his small grandson, Little Thunder. Tayhua has given his life to win a horse for Little Thunder. He has ridden the wild stallion that has thrown much younger riders, and earned the prize. But this is only the tangible heritage that he leaves him, for Little Thunder has learned from the brave Tayhua how to face death, to be proud and to love. Craig Strete has told his story of the touching friendship between grandfather and grandson with power and understanding. It is a story that young readers will return to more than once.
