The Original Cowgirl: The Wild Adventures of Lucille Mulhall

32 pp. | Whitman | March, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-2931-7 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Suzanne Beaky. Zesty art and energetic prose with folksy inflections tell the tale of the original "girl cowboy." Young Oklahoman Mulhall defied turn-of-the-last-century gender norms (defended by her ultra-traditional mother), entering rough-riding and roping competitions at thirteen and ultimately traveling the country showing off her prize-winning and record-breaking skills, including for President Teddy Roosevelt. An author's note fills in some gaps. Timeline.
Reviewer: Nell Beram
