Then the excitement begins in this riveting collection, narrative poems give voice to the individual competitors, lively prose explains rodeo events, and evocative photographs show off the riders and ropers, the horses, bulls, and broncs. It all adds up to an unforgettable close-up view of Navajo rodeo over the course of one action-packed 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. . . "--School Library Journal
