Welcome to Litsy!

Metal-working, bull-taming, storm-wrassling Rose was born with a kind heart and the know-how to get a job done. I have a soft spot for Wild West tall tales, and this hits the spot beautifully. That it features an African American #childprotagonist and is illustrated by Kadir Nelson makes me all 😍😍😍

I read this to my five-year-old twice in one sitting because she loved it so much. It's way too long for library storytime, but nevertheless a highly entertaining folktale of an unusually strong, kind, and heroic girl in the American west.
