Otters Dance: A Rancher's Journey to Enlightenment and Stewardship

As a boy, Bob Budd grew up on the land with the wind at his back and the wide vista of Wyoming Ranchland stretching before him. Their family ranch in Wyoming was passed down, alongside an undying reverence for the land, from generation to generation. Budd spent his childhood learning skills and pocketing wisdom from his family, the ranch and their community.

Otter's Dance is a story of stewardship from a perspective not often heard from- the rancher. It tells of the rhythms of the land, of the people and creatures that make it special, and the ways we can protect it, sharing a universal message about the importance of caring for our natural world. It is an elegy to the place that made Bob Budd who he is today and asks the reader to take some of that love and care back to the places that have imprinted themselves on their lives.
