About this listen

This new children’s book, by the founder of The Cow Sanctuary in Bridgeton, New Jersey, and PETA, was inspired by the true story of Helga Tacreiter’s friendship with a little calf named Harvey and how nursing him back to health after a disastrous storm led her to open a beautiful sanctuary and provide lifelong care to cows, pigs, and other farmed animals.

It’s an age-appropriate account of how Tacreiter, while working on a farm as a young woman, woke up to find that six calves had been orphaned when their mothers were struck by lightning overnight.

She vowed to save them all and formed a special bond with Harvey. He became her inspiration for faux-fur “cowches”—life-size plush likenesses of real cows—by standing still so she could use him as her first moodel. By making and selling those cowches, she was able to buy an 80-acre farm, now the site of The Cow Sanctuary.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
