A new book for children tells the story of how the gift of a cow changes the life of a young African boy’s family. The story is told from two perspectives. A Moo For You, is the boy’s take on the story. The other, All That A Moo Can Do, comes from the cow’s perspective.
The book was produced by students in the leadership and public service class at Dakota Wesleyan University in Mitchell. Proceeds from the book support the Livestock for Life program, which gives struggling families around the world livestock to help increase income and overcome hunger.
The book was written by Alisha Vincent, executive director of the McGovern Center for Leadership and Public Service. She joined Dakota Midday and discussed the book and the true story of Haptamu, whose life was transformed by the gift of a cow.
