 Charming Story ... Glorious Illustrations August 8, 2008
The Goat Lady, so lovingly portrayed by neighborhood children and their mother, is a warm-hearted tale. Set in southeastern Massachusetts, the beautiful illustrations introduce you to a beautiful old French Canadian woman and her goats.
The Goat Lady - A quietly subversive children's book November 15, 2007

The Goat Lady provides a great alternative to the slick consumerist books designed to instill brand loyalty to the corporate icons of Disney and Nickelodeon. For those parents who wish to influence their children's lives with virtues of simplicity, creativity, community, and love, The Goat Lady is a spare but warm counter-example to the harried and image-conscious world pervading American culture. I would also recommend this to readers of Wendell Berry or if you are named Michael and your son is named Aksel.

I ordered this book for a class I was teaching on goats. I found the story so heart warming. It lead me to want to know more about this wonderfully eccentric person.
The book is beautifully illustrated and contains a wonderful message of tolerance.
The children I read it to loved it. The book made for some great discussions afterwards about unique people, neighbors, kindness towards others, love for animals and being different.
