(3) 4-6 Photographs by Jan Sonnenmair. This book invites readers to experience a Navajo Nation rodeo. While focusing on adult competitions (bronco riding, steer wrestling, etc.), Flood doesn't ignore the roles children play. Double-page spreads feature some combination of free-verse poems, narrative accounts of events, and snippets of the announcer's dialogue: "Ladies and gents, give a big warm welcome to our youngest competitors." Well-chosen photographs accompany the readable text. Reading list, websites.
