When the Horses Ride By: Children in the Times of War


When the Horses Ride By: Children in the Times of War

Written by: Eloise Greenfield
Illustrated by: Jan Spivey Gilchrist

Elementary and Junior High Grades

"Wherever we are / we search for a place / to be unafraid / wherever we are." From Native Americans displaced from their land to young protesters in apartheid South Africa and a Muslim girl in Iraq, the clear, stirring words and beautiful mixed-media collage illustrations in this picture book show particular wars across time and place and also suggest the universal fears, dreams, and courage of children caught up in terrifying conflict."
