Cows = Life

We recently read a book titled "14 Cows for America" This was one of those books I just grab when walking through the children's library - in the new section & nice cover.
Wow! It is an awesome book. I would have never guessed that it was related to the 9/11 tragedy but it was. These wonderful people in Kenya give their most prized treasures, their cows, to America in expression of sympathy for the lives lost on 9/11 Visit the book website to read about the Maasai, the unique branding of the 14 cows and what has happened to the cows.

I'm going to look that up the next time I'm at the library. Sounds very interesting! Thanks for the suggestion!
