Why read it?
1 author picked Paint the Wind (Scholastic Gold) as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I like how the mare is portrayed as intelligent and brave, just as the girl is. Both living beings are important characters in the plot, which is wonderful. The prose is skillful and beautiful, and suits competent, older middle-grade readers who will be transported into the wild landscape.
From Troon's list on brave kids and horses.
