My Daddy Is a Cowboy, a Caldecott Honor and Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award book, celebrates a young girl and her father's early morning horseback ride through the city. This award-winning picture book, praised for its gorgeous and magical qualities, highlights their special "just-us time."
As they ride, Daddy shares cowboy stories of fun, community, friendship, and pride. Seeing her city anew, the girl discovers her own strength and confidence as a cowboy. This debut by Stephanie Seales, with vibrant illustrations by C. G. Esperanza, is a beautiful celebration of Black joy, outdoor play, and quality parent-child time.
