( ) This book is a true story how a man from the Masai tribe was going to school in New York during 9/11. When he came back to Kenya he told his people what had happened. They wanted to help and they offered their most sacred thing, the cow to America. The cows are still there in America today and the herd has grown bigger. Gorgeous, richly colored art accompanies this amazing story of human connections, and I kind of want to separate the pages and hang them on my wall or something. Melissa warned me that it was one of those happy tears stories, and she wasn't wrong. I just cried at work. But it's so good! A really great story about compassion and a wonderful reminder that people are pretty awesome.
Of all the expressions of consolation sent to a grieving America after 9/11, perhaps none was as poignant as the gift of 14 cows from Maasai tribesmen in a remote corner of Kenya. PrijzenErelijsten
