Book Description
In Rwanda, still recovering from the deep wounds of war, a family is able to send their older children to school because of the gift of chickens that provide eggs--and income. Flora, the youngest child, must guard the chickens to protect the family's source of food and well-being. When the rowdy rooster Kubika escapes while Flora is playing, a wild chase sets off. Flora's friend Gideon, whose family is unable to send him to school, joins in. Along the way, Mother Yasenta helps the children in an unexpected way, prompting Flora to help Gideon to achieve his dream of going to school.Heifer International has helped millions of families achieve their dreams of education, income and enough to eat through the gifts of farm animals and training. For 70 years, Heifer International has worked in more than 125 countries, helping families move toward self-reliance. Recipients of Heifer gifts agree to "pass on the gift," as Mother Yasenta and Flora do, so that many others may benefit from a single gift.

Book Description
More than anything, Beatrice longs to be a schoolgirl. But in her small African village, only children who can afford uniforms and books can go to school. Beatrice knows that with six children to care for, her family is much too poor. But then Beatrice receives a wonderful gift from some people far away -- a goat! Fat and sleek as a ripe mango, Mugisa (which means "luck") gives milk that Beatrice can sell. With Mugisa's help, it looks as if Beatrice's dream may come true after all. Page McBrier and Lori Lohstoeter beautifully recount this true story about how one child, given the right tools, is able to lift her family out of poverty. Thanks to Heifer Project International -- a charitable organization that donates livestock to poor communities around the world -- other families like Beatrice's will also have a chance to change their lives.
