    A tiny calf is lost and alone. Can one brave, young boy bring her safely home?

Cowboy Jim loves life on the family ranch and especially loves helping with the animals. Every day, the big-hearted ten-year-old eagerly saddles up his horse and practices his roping skills, determined to get better with every toss. But one spring afternoon, Jim discovers that his favorite calf has strayed from the herd.

With his trusty dog by his side and his caring sister ready to help, Jim bravely leads the search across the ranch. Yet after struggling with his rope all day, he can’t help but wonder …

Will he be able to save her when she needs him most?

About the Book Kirkus Reviews calls this week’s No. 1 New Indie-Published Title:

Based on true childhood adventures of a real cowboy, Cowboy Jim encourages kids ages 3-9 to put down screens, head outside, and create adventures of their own. This ranch-based picture book adventure will thrill young readers looking for great bedtime stories, classroom reads, and summer learning.

A serene, sun-drenched foray into Texan ranch life.”
