About This Book
Buffalo Bert The Cowboy Grandad tells the story of a young boy who adores his grandfather's cowboy persona, complete with songs and clothes. However, as he gets older and starts a new school, he becomes acutely aware of how different his grandad is. When he invites new friends over for tea, the boy feels embarrassed and asks Buffalo Bert to keep a low profile. This book gently explores the universal childhood experience of navigating peer pressure, the desire to fit in, and the unconditional love of family. It's a wonderful conversation starter about embracing individuality and appreciating loved ones, even when they're a little quirky.
