THE BRAVE COWBOY

Joan Anglund's A Friend Is Somebody Who Likes You (1959) marked her as a writer-illustrator of unique delicacy and sweetness. Once more she enters the child's world with her peculiar sensitivity. Her hero is a very little boy who spends his days, fully clothed in a department store cowboy suit, imagining himself in various Western exploits. A very real little boy, he is distinguished from his fantasies which are portrayed in red, by the black and white in which he is drawn.
