My grandchildren and I loved Rosie's Wild Ride. They are going to be so excited about Rosie's Ranch Rescue being added to 'Nana's Library'!Rosie's Ranch Rescue is a sweet story about families caring for each other. I love how Rosie, Oakley, Pete, and Thumbs work together and protect one another on this mission. Oakley learns that animals are not so different from humans in caring for their families. What a great lesson! This book will be a great addition to our school library. Our students will love it! I can't wait to share it with them! * Ruth Ransdell, Dr. Benjamin E.

Rosies Wild Ride was her first childrens book. Kristen Humphrey grew up in a small town in southeastern Texas where she spent most of her days drawing and trail riding through pine forests with her beloved thoroughbred, Zeus. She has always shared her home with many different animals who have heavily influenced her artwork. Her love of animals helped influence her artwork in her latest picture book, Rosies Wild Ride. While studying Visualization at Texas A&M University, Kristen became interested in childrens book illustration and began using the skills and techniques she was learning to develop her own illustrative style. When she is not drawing, Kristen enjoys dog walking, hiking, and horseback riding in her spare time.
