Beatrice's Goat by Page McBrier

5.0

Beatrice's Goat is the story of a young Ugandan girl whose family receives a goat through Heifer International for their sustenance and income. Because Beatrice's family is now receiving an income, they can afford to send her to school.

The illustrations in this story are exquisite and really help you to feel like you're a part of Beatrice's family. This would be a fantastic read-aloud to help spark discussion about what a privilege it is to attend school and how there are actually kids all over the world who long to go to school because they don't have the same opportunities that we have in the U.S.
