Becki and the Trailer Kids, an animal children's book with baby goats

Becki and the Trailer Kids is a children’s picture book for 5- to 8-year-olds who love goat kids, farms, and adventure! Educators, parents, and grandparents will enjoy this book’s heartwarming story that also includes themes of family, responsibility, love, friendship, kindness, self-confidence, courage, and survival.

Seven ‘kids’ explore their new indoor surroundings, hopping, skipping, and jumping…until one disappears!

Blackie, a gregarious and intelligent ‘kid,’ loves to explore his indoor enclosure. However, outdoor dangers are everywhere, and little Blackie learns this first-hand!

Join Becki along with her new best friend, Jane, as they use their STEM skills to prevent further ‘kids’ from disappearing, before searching for Blackie.

Distant howling sends livestock guardian dogs, Luna and Branta into action. Who will find Blackie first? Becki and Jane? Luna and Branta? Or a predator?
