Summary

This new children’s book, by the founder of The Cow Sanctuary in Bridgeton, New Jersey, and PETA, was inspired by the true story of Helga Tacreiter’s friendship with a little calf named Harvey and how nursing him back to health after a disastrous storm led her to open a beautiful sanctuary and provide lifelong care to cows, pigs, and other farmed animals.

It’s an age-appropriate account of how Tacreiter, while working on a farm as a young woman, woke up to find that six calves had been orphaned when their mothers were struck by lightning overnight.

She vowed to save them all and formed a special bond with Harvey. He became her inspiration for faux-fur “cowches”—life-size plush likenesses of real cows—by standing still so she could use him as her first moodel. By making and selling those cowches, she was able to buy an 80-acre farm, now the site of The Cow Sanctuary.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
