A Campfire for Cowboy Billy is the first book written by Wendy K. Ulmer. This children's book brings a gentle message of comfort to youngsters suffering the loss of a loved one while encouraging imagination and showing them a way to move forward.
Join Cowboy Billy on his imaginative ride through the city, remembering the lessons he learned from his cowboy Grandpa. One legend about the stars helps Billy still feel close to Grandpa as he looks at the night sky.
Grandpa’s star story is adapted from the Algonquin myth, The Milky Way.
Synopsis
Grab your hats and ride along with Cowboy Billy on his mail run to 44th Street. Follow Billy on his adventurous journey as he weaves through an imaginary landscape where he dodges rustlers on bicycles, sheriffs directing stalled traffic, and chuck-wagon cooks dishing up hot dogs. Billy's imaginative journey will delight cowboys, cowgirls and tenderfeet of all ages.
