Buffalo Music by Tracey E. Fern

This picture book starts off with introducing a woman who lived in the Palo Duro Canyon many, many years ago.  Throughout her day and while falling asleep, she'd listen to the sounds of the buffalo who roamed nearby.  These sounds were a comfort to her and she had a special soft spot for these creatures.  One day poachers came to the canyon and begin shooting the buffalo for their hides.  Soon, very few buffalo were left.  One day a man found two orphaned babies and brought them to the woman to raise.  This was the beginning of the captive herd she would raise.  She sent some of her buffalo to different places around the country to help their herds as well.  This is the story of how one woman helped save the buffalo from becoming extinct.  An informative book with a soft touch that will delight readers.
