Captivating—and wholly inspiring.
In his debut foray into children’s picture books, Corbett takes readers on a young bull’s journey to true happiness. Despite his relentless wins in the rodeo, Cristobal bull has always struggled with the feeling of inadequacy. Determined to find the thing that will make him truly happy, he sets out on a difficult journey, unaware his life will never be the same again. In entertaining, fun verse and vivid art, this hopeful celebration of the life-affirming power of perseverance and self-exploration is irresistible. Corbett’s entertaining storytelling brings Cristobal vividly to life, and his lyrical prose, laced with gentle simplicity, unravels the young bull’s almost impossible mission. Richardo Galvao’s Illustrations, dominated by Cristobal’s expressive personality, paired with fun story elements, are effective, helping the lessons of heavy-handed themes of resilience and self-exploration go down easily. Younger readers will wrap themselves in Cristobal’s fun personality while older kids strive to deconstruct the meaning behind his ultimate quest.
