Carrie, thank you for recommending "King of the Wind" as an adventure genre for BLHFG. When I first started reading it to my daughter, I struggled a little bit with, "why this book?" because I knew nothing about it. I kept having to stop and explain many things to my daughter that I wasn't prepared for but I persevered past the first few chapters. My daughter loves all of God's creation and all His critters. Her top favorite is definitely horses. Well, she is like her Mama (me) in her love for God's creation. So I wasn't sure how she was going to handle some of the trials that Sham went through. All the while it was me, that had to stop a couple of times because I got choked up by the trials of Sham and Agba and not my daughter! She is so very sensitive but I am too!!

Anyways, I have been so touched by this book, this horse, and of course by Agba! I just went online to look for more info on the horse and was excited to see that much of the base story line is true and even saw a real picture of the stone on top of Sham's burial site. I saw on Amazon that most of the reviews were outstanding and many adults read the book when they were about 8 or 9 and have kept the book through adulthood because of how special it was to them. I see why. So again, thank you for including this book in the recommended book list. We would have really missed out if we did not have this curriculum because I did not know about this book. I probably won't see the book again for a few days because I'm telling my teenagers about it so they can read it too. We missed this one when they were younger!
I thank the Lord for His goodness and His creation. And how He has blessed us with such magnificent creatures like horses to enjoy. But ultimately it is the Creator who is so Magnificient!! Praise the Lord!
