SON
OF SPIRIT HORSE By Janice Shefelman
Illustrated by Tom Shefelman
Young Wolf wants to win the horse race at the tribal
fair. So does Little Big Mouth. And that is how the trouble starts.
Can Young Wolf’s colt, Snow Wind, run as
fast as his father, the legendary wild white stallion? Young Wolf thinks
so. But Little Big Mouth knows a secret about Snow Wind that could keep
him from winning the race. Neither boy can imagine what he will win and
lose.

Horse is a continuation of the Step into Reading series about Young Wolf

name becomes Tsena, the Comanche word for wolf.

COMANCHE
SONG By Janice Shefelman
Illustrated by Tom Shefelman
It is white man’s year of 1840. Tsena, sixteen-year-old son of a Comanche peace chief, does not know that it is also the year white man will change his life forever.
He longs to prove himself as a warrior while his father strives to keep peace with the Texans. When Tsena accompanies his father and other chiefs to a council in San Antonio, the negotiations turn violent. He is suddenly cast into white man’s world, where he learns about a new way of life and glimpses the power of the written word.
Tsena’s story is based on two historical encounters between the Comanches and Texans, the Council House Massacre and the Battle of Plum Creek.
