LET’S GO!
LET’S SHOW!
LET’S RODEO!
Sarah Bird’s timeless photos offer a rare portrait of the jubilant,
vibrant, vital, nearly hidden and now all-but-vanished world of small-town Black rodeos. “I feel blessed that I have lived long enough to return these images to the communities that created this world, and to see a country where Black cowboys and girls are not only recognized but celebrated for the heroes they always were.”

Praise and Reviews
“The finest living Texas novelist…showcases all of her gifts in spades…her unmistakable voice displays warmth, wit, and that rare variety of irreverence that possesses real heart.”
The Texas Observer
“Characters come alive on the page… had me variously chuckling, gasping aloud, rubbing the chill bumps on my arms, and holding my breath.”
Lone Star Literary Life
“Sarah Bird is a fiercely original writer who combines an acerbic wit with a genuine affection for humanity… [her novel] shines like a new copper penny.”
Chicago Tribune
“Sarah Bird has managed to create a new way of looking at history…one of the most remarkable narrative voices I have encountered in a long time.”
