Introducing New Educational Resources for Elementary Students!


From Pre-K to Gr.6 - there are books, videos, and games for every student!

Page McBrier, New York Times Best-Selling author of Beatrice’s Goat, drew from her personal experiences with Heifer project partners to write new books for these education kits; each book is set in a different Heifer project country. The new titles now available for purchase are The Chicken and the Worm and Winter in Songming.
The Chicken and Worm is a story of friendship, innovation and humor. Warm, colorful illustrations and straight-forward, often humorous dialog introduce young readers to the idea that even the smallest creatures can work together to care for the Earth.In Winter in Songming, a boy takes his first step into manhood while his village takes a step toward self-sufficiency. This book is a delightful portrait of a community’s pulling together to build a better future.

The books can be ordered by calling (800) 422-0474.

The new resources will help teachers learn more and speak more authoritatively about hunger and extreme poverty, which afflicts more than a billion people around the world. For more information about Heifer Global Education, visit www.heifereducation.org.
