Sky Dogs by Jane Yolen, Illustrated by Barry Moser

Sky Dogs by Jane Yolen, illustrated by Barry Moser, is a beautifully presented picture book inspired by a Blackfeet story about the arrival of horses on the North American plains. Published in 1990, this hardcover edition retains its original dust jacket.

The story describes how the Blackfeet first encountered horses—strange, powerful animals they came to call “sky dogs”—and how these animals transformed travel, hunting, and life on the plains. Jane Yolen’s storytelling is paired with Barry Moser’s striking illustrations, giving the book strong visual and cultural appeal.

A thoughtful choice for readers interested in Indigenous stories, horses, North American history, folklore, and beautifully illustrated children’s books. Its hardcover format and original dust jacket also make it appealing to collectors of Jane Yolen and Barry Moser titles.
