As with every CowParade, the sculptures in CowParade Houston are totally original, created by local artists and sponsored by local businesses. Each city mounts a street- and plaza-side display of approximately 300 cows, every one of which is featured in full-color in the book. Each cow from Houston's Flamencow to Cowpernicus will be labeled with the artist, the sponsor, and the cow's location.
Since its first staging in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1998, CowParade has been hugely successful in each of its host cities. Post-parade auctions of the sculptures generated $3.5 million in Chicago and $4 million in New York. Proceeds from CowParade Houston will go toward a $345 million expansion of The Texas Children's Hospital and Texas Children's Cancer Center.

From the Back Cover
From Cowculus at Reliant Plaza to Veggie Cow at Market Square to Georgia O'Beefe at Eleanor Tinsley Park, these quirky CowParade cattle were truly a unifying force, causing viewers to stop and smile all over the city. These sculptures were created by local artists, sponsored by area businesses, and helped raise money for the Texas Children's Hospital.
CowParade is the creator of citywide public art projects that bring together artists, corporations, and cows to delight residents and visitors and raise money for charity. Previous CowParades have appeared in Chicago; New York; Stamford, CT; West Orange, NJ; and Kansas City, MO. BACKCOVER: REMEMBER THE ALAMOO
Moonwalker, in tribute to Houston's contribution to space exploration. Courageous Cowlage, the collaborative effort by patients of the Texas Children's Cancer Center. Not to mention Cactow, Mooriachi, Love Me Tenderloin, A Starry Night in Texas, Flamen-cow, and more than 320 others - quite a different breed from the original livestock once herded into the Bayou City. It was the fall the cows came back to Houston - idiosyncratic, colorful, shaped, and sculpted - transforming its streets, parks, plazas, and schools into a joyful outdoor museum.
