Reach for this book when your child feels like an outsider because their interests do not match the status quo or the expectations of their peer group. It is an ideal choice for the sensitive child who feels pressured to be 'tough' or 'athletic' when their true strengths lie in quiet observation and creativity. Cowboy Slim tells the story of a young man who struggles with the physical demands of life on the range, but eventually uses his gift for poetry to soothe a restless herd during a crisis. This charming story validates the idea that there is more than one way to be a hero and that every team needs a dreamer just as much as a doer. It is a gentle, affirming read for children aged 4 to 8 that turns the traditional 'tough cowboy' trope on its head to celebrate emotional intelligence and the power of words.
