Review
This is an ode to today's cowboys. It is a tribute to the hardworking men and women who ride the plains and watch their herds. These are not the rough, fighting cowboys of old westerns - but real people who cry, think of others, listen and are patient. It is a hard but rewarding life. The illustrations have a dreamy feel - and the quiet nature of this tribute will not be to all tastes.
"The illustrations are hand-stenciled shapes and textures layered with the computer and printed in four Pantone colors." (from back of title page)
