Meditations with Cows: What I've Learned from Daisy, the Dairy Cow Who Changed My Life
by Shreve StocktonAn intimate memoir on the work and wonder of ranch life, critiquing the inhumane and environmentally destructive factory farm system and offering sustainable alternatives for ethical omnivores.Although there are nearly 100 million cattle in the United States, these animals are often ignored or dismissed. In Meditations with Cows, Shreve Stockton inspires a more reverential attitude toward these affectionate and intelligent creatures as she shares captivating stories and photos of ranch life. At the center of the narrative is Daisy, the matriarch of the herd. Through the daily ritual of milking, Stockton forges a relationship with Daisy that deepens with each passing season: "When you have a milk cow, you are together every day, no matter the weather, no matter either of your moods. The hind leg of this twelve-hundred-pound animal towers over you as you crouch beside her... both of you aware of the fact that one well-aimed kick could kill you if she wished. Yet you are allowed to rest your cheek and forehead against her warm belly as you milk... her trust in you entwined with your trust in her, you become family." For anyone who loves animals or cares about the environmental impact of their food, Stockton explores conservation and the important role of cattle in local ecosystems, models the humane treatment of animals, and shows how pastured cattle can be our allies in averting climate crisis. Blending together narrative, science, and thoughtful reflection, Meditations with Cows offers a moving portrait of the rhythms of work, life, and hardship on the ranch.

CJ's story begins at the Southeastern Guide Dog kennels where she was 12 weeks old, and follows her experiences in the home of her loving puppy raisers. Although CJ enjoys the usual puppy life of games and toys, she already knows her future will be very special. Her year with puppy raisers provides her with many experiences that prepare her for her formal training as a guide dog for a blind person. Young children will not only learn about the training of a future guide dog, they will also be able to internalize feelings CJ has about learning, working, and sharing her love with the people in her life. Author Mary Ereth is a former first grade teacher, who was selected as Teacher of the Year in the Akron Public Schools. "A wonderfully appealing way for children to understand the world of the physically challenged."--Frank Kavanaugh, Ph.D., Professor of Communications, Punta Gorda, Florida. "The puppies and dogs in training are truly God's gift to those individuals with special needs."--Beth A. Campbell, Cleveland, Ohio. "Before we met CJ, we thought dogs were just good buddies, but now we understand that CJ and other guide dogs are the "eyes" for someone. We are lucky to have met CJ, the guide dog when she was just a puppy. It's really cool that Mary Ereth wrote this book so that lots of kids can read about guide dogs and how important they are to everyone."--Richard Freshwater, age 9, and Kent Freshwater, age 8, Englewood Elementary School, Englewood, Florida.
