REVIEWS:

"A way to not only talk about what it is that makes a family but also how little 'miracles' can help us get through our lives."

 TalkinBroadway.com

"Super Cowgirl tackles serious topics such as economic inequality and racial prejudice (Grandma Autumn is African-American and disapproved of her daughter's marriage to a Latino), but it does do within an intimate family story that is accessible and fun."

 The Arizona Republic

"Super Cowgirl and Mighty Miracle's tale of a grandmother and granddaughter who don't agree might be a familiar story, but it is one that touches upon many emotions and situations. With the added urgency of a pending possible foreclosure and the use of a multicultural family, it also is a story for modern times... It seems that a friendly stray dog might be the "miracle" these two strong female characters need to...realize how lucky they are to have each other."
