Grandfather Buffalo is old.
Grandfather Buffalo is slow.
But, he is still strong.
He often rests alone in the tall grass. When his herd moves, he follows slowly. He is still part of the herd.

A new friend surprises Grandfather Buffalo. Who can this be? How will they be helpful to each other?

In this sweet story of the open plains, you may start seeing someone you know.
