The Bearpaw children learn of a white buffalo calf that is born on a ranch far from their home. The family leaves on a spontaneous pilgrimage in their camper to take gifts to the newborn. The children had grown up with the story of the White Buffalo Calf Woman, the powerful spirit who saved a starving tribe in ancient times, and had been reborn in the form of a white buffalo. But the white calf is protected by its large mother. What will happen to the children in the moonlight inside the corral?
The book includes the original legend of the White Buffalo Calf Woman as well as step-by-step instructions with illustrations on how to make a dreamcatcher.

What reviewers said
"Engaging touches as vaguely bison-shaped white clouds and a tight close-up of the limpid-eyed calf that practically puts the fluffy creature in readers' laps."
"This tale provides a fresh look at modern belief in a still-powerful legend."
"Even in large collections, white buffalo lore is elusive, so this interesting combination of story, folklore, and craft may also have reference value."
