This Glenwood Springs CO award-winning author attended many rodeos during her years on the Navajo Nation, and they often opened with A Cowboy's Prayer. The poem's author was listed as "anonymous," but was later found to be a cowboy poet from Deadwood, South Dakota named Badger Clark. The writer learned more about him and wrote the perfect non-fiction picture book about Badger's life. The South Dakota Historical Society Press only prints one book a year, and the book they released in 2025 is Badger Clark, Poetry Wrangler. The illustrations perfectly compliment the text, the backmatter is engaging, and includes photographs of the real Badger Clark. Non-fiction picture books are such important additions to libraries, classrooms and homes, and this new one is a shining example. The author is Nancy Bo Flood.
