Beatrice's Goat, written by Page McBrier
Mrs. Way came to visit our group and read us a book. It was called Beatrice's Goat. It is about a girl named Beatrice who lived in Uganda. Her family was very poor and were given a goat. With the gift of the goat, they were able to sell the milk and she was eventually able to go to school. She came to the United States when she was older.
It was a great lesson on being thankful for what you have! The children asked some wonderful questions.
We also learned about Uganda: they are one of the poorest countries in the world, they have tropical forests and tourists who visit there go on Gorilla tracking safaris!
