American Girl® Kaya™ and her horse go on an adventure in this Step 3 Step into Reading leveled reader that takes place in pre-colonial America!

Kaya is a Nez Perce girl who takes pride in helping out and supporting the tribe—and also in her beloved horse, Steps High.

Kaya’s story of adventure in the wilderness is sure to engage today's listeners as they learn what it was like to be a Native American girl in 1764 in this Step 3 Step into Reading leveled reader. This exciting Step into Reading is based on an American Girl story by Janet Shaw.
