Book Review: A Teacher's Perspective
Summary: 5 Stars
Paint the Wind features a young girl who has lost her parents and her primary caregiver, her paternal grandmother, before coming to live with her maternal family. Maya's grandmother was very protective to the point of sheltering her from the world. When she goes to live with her mom's family, she learns a whole new way of life, rides horses, and is caught in a survival situation in the woods after an earthquake. The story is fast paced at times, while also being slow and descriptive in places.
I learned so much about horseback riding by reading this book. Maya's bravery was amazing to me as I've just begun to ride horses again in the past year. It is a humbling experience and I am in awe of young children who ride with Maya's skill and grace. A look inside the training was very interesting.
In the classroom, I would share this book with any horse-lover. It would be a great book for adventerous young girls looking for survival stories with strong female characters. In addition, a study of earthquakes might occur as an offshoot of this reading. I would certainly show the location of the story on a map and investigate the earthquake history of the region.
