The Goat Lady

An elderly French Canadian named Noelie often drew criticism from the Dartmouth, MA, townsfolk because she kept a herd of white goats in her yard. Neighbors complained that the animals were noisy and unruly and that the house was unkempt. The author and her children befriended the old woman and found that she was gentle and kind. This gentle, straightforward narrative is told from the point of view of one of the children and is ideal for reading aloud.
