The Cow That Could, And Did!: (With A Little Help From Her Friends)

The Cow that Could, and DID! (With a Little Help from Her Friends) is an inspirational story (based on a true character, I might add) of a calf born with no tail and how her "friends" accepted her even though she was different - by lending a helping hand (or tail, as the story goes) and encouraging her every step of the way. The story is appropriate for adults and children, alike."Star" was a real cow and Farmer Alan and Ed and all the kids in the story were also real people! Jo Ann (Nizza) Parker masterfully weaves the important message of inclusion of a bunch of cows who accepted one that was different. This would be a great book for special education teachers to use for trainings and/or to just read to their students - or better yet, have their students read to them.
