From the Inside Flap
[Front Flap] Kick is the greatest cowboy the Lone Star State has ever seen. But he's also the grumpiest. Even though he can rope a dozen longhorns in one swift loop, his scowl can scare a scorpion. His Texas-sized attitude swells as each day passes, and soon other cowboys are itchin' to avoid him. One day, a lively young girl loses her puppy and asks Kick for help. After he roars with laughter at her request, she delivers a swift kick that literally brings him to his knees. As the two meet eye to eye, something strange happens. His cruel heart begins to soften, and Kick realizes that maybe, just maybe, he can be kind. Filled with vibrant illustrations and enhanced with a Western twang, Joe Gribnau's heartwarming tale will remind readers that a little bit of compassion and humility can go a long way. [Back Flap] Joe Gribnau is the author of Pelican's Rocky Mountain Night Before Christmas. He earned a B.A. in elementary education from the University of Montana and completed a master's program in literacy at Walla Walla University. Born and raised in Missoula, Montana, Gribnau is a resident of Walla Walla, Washington, where he enjoys the outdoors and spending time with his family. Adrian Tans is the illustrator of Pelican's Pirate Treasure Hunt! and Witches' Night Before Halloween. He is an avid traveler whose eye-catching art has been exhibited in a variety of galleries. Tans resides in Woodstock, Vermont, with his family.
