FIRST GALLOP Format: Paperback

Yakari learns from the tribe’s elder that the Sioux haven’t always been the magnificent riders they are now – indeed, that there was a time they didn’t even know what a horse was. Shaken, he speaks a little too demandingly to Little Thunder, wounding his four-legged friend who immediately runs away. Devastated, the young boy will have to track down his companion and find a way to earn his forgiveness if he ever wants to share a gallop with him again...

Derib and Job have been writing Yakari stories for over 30 years and have both received lifetime achievement awards for their outstanding work. At the comics festival at Angoulême in 2006, Yakari won the “prix jeunesse 7-8 ans” or “youth prize 7-8 years.”
