Howdy, I’m Flores LaDue

Howdy, I’m Flores LaDue introduces readers to this notable woman, a world champion trick roper and First Lady of the Calgary Stampede, who helped put Alberta on the map. Featuring full-colour illustrations by Hugh Rookwood and Keegan Starlight (Tsuut’ina Nation), this comic-styled biography will draw even struggling readers in. Additional features include a timeline, archival photos, and even a cookie recipe by Flores. Although short, this book could be used in lessons about primary sources (archival photos), Women’s History Month, Alberta history, or the history of the Calgary Stampede.
