When Velma Bronn Johnston (1912-77) saw mustangs being rounded up and killed to make room for ranchers' livestock, she knew she had to speak up. Many people told "Wild Horse Annie" to hush up, but they couldn't stop her, and with the help of her young "pencil brigade" of activists, Annie persuaded Congress to pass nationwide laws protecting wild horses on public land nationwide. The author of W Is for Webster tells readers 5 to 8 an inspiring tale of a woman who overcame polio and rustlers, which the illustrator of The Fantastic Ferris Wheel depicts in colorful, textured, dramatic images.
