Sitting close to the warmth of a crackling fire, a young Navajo boy named Boy-Strength-of-Blue-Horses listens closely to the familiar, comforting voice of his grandfather. Together, they are telling a story that has been shared many times before, yet it never loses its power. With every telling, the grandfather ties another knot in a special counting rope, a symbol of the boy growing stronger and more confident. Because he is blind, the boy experiences the world differently, relying on his deep bond with his grandfather to understand his past. Through their shared memories, you are transported to the dramatic night of the boy's birth during a fierce storm. You will feel the excitement as he bonds with his very first horse, and your heart will race during a thrilling, high-stakes horse race. This beautiful and tender tale is a powerful celebration of family, inner strength, and courage. The grandfather's wisdom guides the boy to see the world not with his eyes, but with his heart. As the counting rope fills with knots, readers learn that true strength comes from within and that the love between generations can overcome any obstacle.
