Hoot: a children’s book for adults, a bigger-than-life wild west story, metaphysical bullshit spun into angel’s hair

by Ronald L. Grimes, Cailleah Wyn Scott-Grimes (Illustrator)

Hoot is a New Mexican who tells tall tales to his grandson. In early Hollywood cowboy movies the grandfather was a sidekick and confidant to leading men. Hoot is a trickster and clown, a magnet—he’s been everywhere, done everything, knows everybody. Hoot is a kids’ book for adults, an engaging day-long read with short chapters and illustrations.
