A charismatic and formidable bull’s desire to find true happiness takes him on an unforgettable journey in Corbett’s beautifully crafted children’s picture book. Cristobal possesses both strength and drive. And though he relishes his extreme popularity within the rodeo circuit, his hunger for something more, forces him to embark on a personal quest to realize true happiness. His journey takes him across the globe, but the longing for something more never diminishes. It’s only when his encounter beneath the radiant glow of Lucille Luna takes place, he realizes a new path is finally opening up. This beautifully crafted picture book, expressed in lyrical sentences and simple vocabulary, will charm young readers; they will admire Cristobal’s strength and resilience, the dreams he seeks, and the outlandish lengths he goes to achieve those dreams. Richardo Galvao’s wry illustrations, rendered in vivid, bright colors, are delightful to look at while wholly carrying the story. The book does a wonderful job of highlighting the power of hard work, tenacity, perseverance, and believing in oneself. Children will have no problem enjoying this delightfully engrossing book. A fresh presentation of familiar, relevant themes.
