Beatrice lives in the village of Kisinga, Uganda with her mother and 5 younger brothers

and sisters. Life is hard and the family is very poor. Beatrice dreams of going to school

but knows the family probably will never have money for books and a uniform.

One day everything changes: the family receives a goat. Beatrice names it Mugisa, which

means lucky because her mother said the goat was a lucky gift. The goat soon gives birth

 to 2 kids and the family's life alters course. They have milk to drink and some to sell;

and in time, they are able to profit by selling one of the kids and elevate their lives even

more. They build a new sturdy hut with a steel roof that won't leak and are even able to

make Beatrice's dream to attend school come true.....

Based on the true story of how one family was helped by Heifer Project International, an

organization that donates livestock to poor communities, Page McBrier's beautiful and

engaging picture book shows how different life can be in other parts of the world and what

little tools it takes to bring hope and changes to developing countries.

Her eloquent text is complimented by Lori Lohstoeter's rich and expressive illustrations

of sunny acrylic paintings which capture the hues of dusty thatched  huts and verdant

banana groves of the African landscape.  Sweet-faced Beatrice and her mother take center

stage wearing colorful traditional clothes, and their bond is palpable.  

The book demonstrates to youngsters in a very simple and gentle way how something

(even as small as a goat) can lift a family out of desperate poverty and into a better life.

Perfect for children 4-8, Beatrice's Goat is an uplifting story told with great insight and is

a wonderful addition to all home bookshelves.
