About the Book
|
Sunny Boy and Little Sunny is a story told mostly by photographs of an incident involving a wild mustang family. The story takes place in northern Wyoming on Bureau of Land Management land east of the town of Cody, Wyoming.
This family unit includes a mare, a baby colt she had given birth to sometime during the previous night and the baby's father.
The book has many pictures of the wild mustang on the move after being spooked by three large trucks that drove through the preserve. The horses were especially nervous due to previous round-ups and took off running from the noise and the trucks.
As the herd gathers momentum the father of the newborn baby seeks out the mare and the baby. He stays with them as the herd takes off, leaving the family behind.
At one point, four stallions from the herd seek to take the baby's mother for themselves. The father, Sunny Boy, seeing what is happening, circles around and attacks all four stallions to preserve his family.
