How to Use the Book Within the Classroom: The book can serve as a good introduction to an unit on Native Americans or art in a grade K-3 classroom. The teacher could also play the audio tape of the book where the story is accompanied by Native American music. After reading the story, the students can work on an activity that incorporates art where they create a picture similar to ones in The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses.
