Sal wants to be a real cowgirl - brave, strong, wild, fierce and kind. She feels safe and strong at home, but she finds going to school is scary and isolating. A heart-warming story about being yourself and finding bravery through friendship.
An inspiring story about the people – and animals – who make us brave, perfect for young readers who are struggling with nerves or anxiety.
This looks gorgeous and relatable for many.
