I Rode A Horse Of Milk White Jade
Author: Diane Lee Wilson
When Oyuna was a baby, a horse accidentally crushed her foot.
One fateful day, soldiers from the great Khan's army invade her village to steal horses and gather new soldiers. In hopes of bringing honor to her family. Oyuna courageously disguises herself as a boy and joins the soldiers on their quest.
With only her horse and her cat to keep her company. Oyuna sets off on an amazing journey across deserts and mountains ~ a journey that will change her life forever.
We enjoyed reading this book.
It is a wonderful story about courage, friendship, and bravery.
Oyuna is crippled, she never gives up. It is a wonderful life lesson, even if you have a handicap, you can take on the adventure.

I love the Dr. Suess quote. Do you read along with the boys? To the boys? Before the boys? Do you have your own little book club with them? I'm very curious.
