What's the most beautiful thing you know about horses?

By Richard Van Camp. San Francisco, CA: Children's Book Press, ©1998.

What do you get when Dogrib writer Richard Van Camp and Plains Cree artist George Littlechild team up to create a book about horses for young readers? You get a splendid story enhanced with vibrant pop-style illustrations called, What’s the Most Beautiful Thing You Know About Horses? It is a playful story about family, personalities, perspectives, similarities, observations, and surroundings in a modern Dogrib family of the Northwest Territories of Canada. It is about the wonders of learning from one simple question. Both Van Camp and Littlechild are renowned in contemporary Native American literary and art worlds, more so they are First Nations "brothers" despite different tribal affiliations. Through their expressive words and art, we enjoy the connections made and questions raised through language and culture.
