Paint The Wind by Pam Munoz Ryan is about eleven year-old Maya Limner. Since her parents died when she was four, she lives with her strict grandmother in California. Soon her grandmother dies and she goes to live with her grandfather, great uncle, and great aunt. She has read many books on horses at libraries, but little does she know that she will come to have a very strong connection with a very special wild horse her mother once rode!
She has many minor adventures at their ranch in Utah, learning about her mother's past until an earthquake strikes and changes her life forever.
I thought this was a very exciting tale and adults and children of all ages will thoroughly enjoy it! :)

I really enjoyed reading it. The characters were realistic, the language was precise and profound. A great read. But the one fault that I found is when Maya is learning how to ride with the Limners. Being a rider myself, I know what it's like to learn how to ride, and it seemed to me that Maya jumped from learning how to steer to cantering way too fast. Honestly, it takes more than two days to learn how to ride like a pro. Maybe I'm wrong, that was just my reaction when I read the book. Anyway, that's only one fault when there could have been ten. I highly reccomend this book. It really is well written, and it's a must read for horse fans!

Paint the Wind is a great story for young readers interested in horses or who may be struggling with losing a loved one and staying connected to their memory. Maya has lost both of her parents in a terrbie tragedy and now lives with her stuffy, bitter, and overproctective grandmother who forbids any talk or memory of Maya's mother. The only way Maya is able to stay connected to her mother's memory is through one remaining picture and a few plastic toy horses. When Maya is suddenly whisked away to the Wyoming horse camp her mother grew up on, Maya finds MANY ways to connect to her mother--most importantly her mother's wild mare, Artemisia.

i read Pams other horse book, riding Freedom, and I thought that it had much more character. But this one was very good. If you like the Phantom Stallion books , you'll like this one. I'd recommend it to any horse book reader. It had lots of good description, and it was very well put together.

Not Ryan's best. "Esperanza Rising" is still my favorite. But a good addition to the horse story collection. When her Pasadena grandmother dies of a stroke, overprotected orphan Maya is sent to her grandfather in Wyoming, where she bonds with a wild mare named Artemisia.

Pam Munoz Ryan is a favorite writer of mine but I was a little worried when I saw this book as a potential girl-loves-horses book. I shouldn't have worried - Ryan has written a beautiful book about emotional journeys and finding strength and support. The main character, Maya moves from the very controlled home of her paternal grandmother to the wild river camp where her mother's family interacts with horses in the wild. Maya notes early in the book that her name means "a journey about to begin" and the book takes her through a journey that reconciles her past and puts her in a place where she can face her future with confidence and support. Ryan's characters are portrayed with vibrancy and depth. Attention to accuracy is evident as Maya learns to ride and about the different breeds of horses. This is a book of original content that is appealing to children and adults.

I read this book for the first time in 1st grade. I've had a copy since before 2012, so I don't know why it says it was published in 2012. I highly recommend giving this a read.
