Beautiful Story

What a beautiful story. This is the first story I’ve read that featured an African American boy (Noah) as a cowboy with diabetes. What I enjoyed about this book is the inclusive messaging that allows all children to see that any child can be a cowboy, and the story normalized having a health condition. Secondly, I loved that the author discussed diabetes in a child-friendly way, which isn’t an easy thing to do. I appreciated the love and support that the Uncle and Aunt gave Noah. An overall great story! I highly recommend it!

Great story of inclusion.

In addition to beautiful illustrations this story follows a young boy through a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. Beautiful message for an ever growing disease and how one boy doesn’t let it get him down.

I Love This Book!

The Rodeo King is an excellent book! The story encourages young readers to always strive for your goals, even when presented with obstacles/differences. I loved the storyline and the illustrations were bright and beautiful.
