(New Orleans, LA; Atlanta, GA) October 7, 2019- “Do black girls ride horses?” C is for Cowgirl is a book that colorfully answers the captivating question a special little aspiring cowgirl asked her mom, author Wednesday Boateng. She joins forces with co-authors Crystal Orr and Dawn King to breathe life into this engaging children’s story featuring Cowrie, a brown girl equestrian, as the main character. “It is important not only to satisfy the original curiosity of my daughter, but to have many other daughters see themselves represented as well,” says Boateng.
