About the author
Ann Nolan Clark (1896–1995) was born in New Mexico, and educated at New Mexico Highlands University. She taught the children of the Tesuque pueblo to read, and when she found the school drastically underfunded, wrote her own books for it. Several of her titles were published by the United States Bureau of Native Indian Affairs. Her book In My Mother’s House was named as a Caldecott Honor book in 1942. She wrote, as far as I am aware, one horse book, Hoofprint on the Wind.
