The buffalo, an American icon once nearly extinct, has made a comeback. This stirring picture book tells the dramatic story, following bison from the Plains Indians to the cowboys, Teddy Roosevelt to the Dust Bowl, and from the brink of extinction to the majestic herds that now roam our national parks. Paired with gorgeous paintings by landscape artist Wendell Minor, Jean Craighead George's engaging text will inspire a new generation to understand and protect nature's delicate balance.
The story flows like prairie grass in the wind. The best of what children’s books can be!

This book is beautifully written and illustrated for children, and it also provides an easily understandable history of how the buffalo almost disappeared from the plains and how that event was interconnected with the Indians, the “dust bowl”, and how the buffalo were brought back. I highly recommend!
