The Real Cowgirl

In The Real Cowgirl, Sal feels safe and
strong at home, and out riding with her pony. She has big dreams of being a
cowgirl; of being brave, smart and wild. But at school, where she feels anxious
and isolated, those dreams seem very far away. How will Sal find her
self-confidence and be her true self even when she is scared?

Join Sal and her pony for this heart-warming
story about friendship, and the way in which it can make you feel brave.
Featuring beautiful, vibrant illustrations of Sal's life on the farm, it will
delight young readers with an interest in animals and adventure. It will also
provide inspiration and comfort for children who experience anxiety, showing
them the power of small acts of bravery, and how our friends can build us up to
feel all the wonderful things they already see in us.

The Real Cowgirl was
inspired by the author's own childhood, growing up on a farm in NSW, Australia
with her pony as a source of support and comfort. It is a story about being
yourself, finding bravery through friendship, and what it takes to be a real
cowgirl.
