Beatrice's Goat

BY PAGE MCBRIER, ILLUSTRATED BY LORI LOHSTOETER

Brief Description:
"An impoverished family begins to flourish after receiving a special gift - of the four-legged variety - in this uplifting picture book set in western Uganda. Beatrice longs to attend school with other village children, but instead she must tend her five younger siblings and help her mother in the fields. Everything starts to change, however, when Beatrice and her family receive a goat... With the goat's bounty, the family soon has enough money to send Beatrice to school. McBrier's tale, inspired by actual events, succeeds in demonstrating the positive ripple effect of the efforts of [the Heifer Project]." - Publishers Weekly
