This book was written on the rodeo trail by a father who was wondering if his son missed him nearly as much as he missed his son.

In this story, a young boy plays various roles and games by himself while waiting for his dad to come home from rodeos. The reader sees a young boy in his actual surroundings, whisked away by his imagination into the roles he assumes. Though his imagination keeps him busy, only one role truly takes him to where he wants to be.
