Have you ever read "Dairy Queen," about a high school girl growing up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin? And yes, I think you should write your own middle grade cow book. <br />David, who grew up firmly in the suburbs but has his own cow picture book coming out in 2013David LaRochellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09146141298496287697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-339010711047634783.post-62400820238387917922011-12-02T12:39:53.794-08:002011-12-02T12:39:53.794-08:00My dad grew up on a farm and he was determined to ...My dad grew up on a farm and he was determined to get a job in the city when he grew up!! I always loved our visits to the family farm, even though the cows and horses were gone by the time I got there. There was plenty of fun stuff to do, and NO work duties for the grandchildren thank goodness. <br /><br />I agree that you need to get a Bodeen cow book out there!Diane Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08314603829439839092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-339010711047634783.post-32925395350336966602011-11-30T09:01:45.492-08:002011-11-30T09:01:45.492-08:00Ah Betsy.

Like, cows, for instance. For me a cow is something you point to on a long drive. I've never known one up close and personal, nonetheless a calf.

This gives me new insights into how your Tanzanian experience must have felt familiar in some ways--those trips to the well.
