This beautiful childrens' book should be required reading for cattle ranchers who rent land from BLM for a few dollars after the wonderful, happy wild horses are rounded up then sent off to a nightmare that usually ends up in the kill pen. Who else should read it? Children in rural areas who are taught that abusive rodeos are OK. It would not hurt city children to read the story as well. It's a new American classic for anyone who loves animals and even more so for those who do not love animals.

One unlikely friendship will be his only salvation.My Desert Sun is a story for all ages, dealing with various important issues; from the plight of the diminishing herds of the American mustang, to abuse (of animals and humans alike), to the endless fight for freedom, no matter what the cost.
