It all begins with some cake, but soon she’s gobbling up corndogs, chili chips, cider, and more in a wild, laugh-out-loud chain reaction.
Set against the backdrop of the iconic Texas State Fair—famous for its food and festivities—this playful picture book bursts with rhythm, rhyme, and rodeo flair.
The story’s joyfully chaotic journey comes to life through vibrant paper-and-fabric collage illustrations, giving every page texture, color, and charm.
Perfect for story time, classrooms, and libraries, There Once Was a Cowgirl is a flavorful celebration of fairs, food, and fun in Texas. With catchy rhymes, a familiar cumulative structure, and eye-catching art, it’s a read-aloud kids will want to savor again and again.
