This month ReaderKidZ is thrilled to feature Nancy Bo Flood and her beautiful new picture book COWBOY UP! Ride the Navajo Rodeo (WordSong, 2013)

An excerpt from a School Library Journal early review (April 2013) –

 The history and tradition of the Navajo rodeo are made lively and accessible in this “day-in-the-life” account. Short narrative poems accompany each spread, recounting the anticipation, determination, danger, and excitement of the day…

Warm and inviting, the book gives a real sense of what it’s like to be a part of the Navajo rodeo. A top-notch introduction to a unique event.

-Madeline J. Bryant, Los Angeles Public Library
