Title: Good book for discussions
Review: I knew little about black cowboys and that's coming from a gal who lives in Texas and went to the rodeo as a child. The book is the first I've come across the history of black cowboys and since it's in fictional context, students might appreciate it more than reading about it in a reference book. The book teaches a few lessons regarding gender stereotypes and learning how to do something.I didn't find the book exciting. If I were in elementary school, I'd probably pass on reading the book. The nice thing about the book is its main characters are Black, and we need to see more diversity in children's fiction books. It's a good book for parent/child and classroom discussions because of the lessons it teaches. I debated whether to give it a 3 or a 4. It's more in between.
