‘The fun begins. It is the Poddy Calf ride. Some kids stick like burrs. Others tumble in the dust...'
Norah Kersh cleverly pays homage to rodeo - a competition of combined skill between animal and rider - with her vibrantly illustrated watercolour pictures. An event that originated from everyday work and duties caring and working with livestock on the land, Rodeo Kids includes everything from poddy calf rides, barrel racing, team roping, steer wrestling and the pinnacle event, bucking bulls. More importantly, Rodeo Kids highlights the importance of events such as rodeo in fostering connection and a sense of community for families isolated by distance. A thrilling read for the whole family!
Norah is a grandmother living on a cattle and sheep station in outback Queensland. Having drawn all of her life, Norah's work shows her great affinity with the Australian outback.
