Harvey y la manada del rayo
por Helga Tacreiter
By Helga Tacreiter
This new kids’ book by the founder of The Cow Sanctuary in Bridgeton, New Jersey, and PETA tells the sweet, semi-autobiographical story of Helga Tacreiter’s friendship with a little calf named Harvey and how nursing him back to health after a disastrous storm led her to open a beautiful sanctuary and provide lifelong care to cows, pigs, and other often-forgotten farmed animals. Featuring enchanting illustrations by Denise V. Tremblay, it’s an age-appropriate account of how Tacreiter, while working on a farm as a young woman, woke up to find that six calves had been orphaned when their mothers were struck by lightning overnight. She vowed to save them all and formed a special bond with Harvey. He became her inspiration for faux-fur “cowches”—life-size plush likenesses of real cows—by standing still so she could use him as her first moodel. By making and selling those cowches, she was able to buy an 80-acre farm, now the site of The Cow Sanctuary.
Este nuevo libro para niños, escrito por la fundadora de The Cow Sanctuary en Bridgeton, Nueva Jersey, y PETA, cuenta la dulce historia semiautobiográfica de la amistad de Helga Tacreiter con un pequeño becerro llamado Harvey y cómo, al cuidarlo y devolverle la salud después de una tormenta desastrosa, decidió abrir un hermoso santuario y brindar cuidado de por vida a vacas, cerdos y otros animales de granja a menudo olvidados. Con encantadoras ilustraciones de Denise V. Tremblay, es un relato apropiado para la edad sobre cómo Tacreiter, mientras trabajaba en una granja cuando era joven, se despertó y encontró que seis becerros habían quedado huérfanos cuando sus madres fueron alcanzadas por un rayo durante la noche. Ella prometió salvarlos a todos y formó un vínculo especial con Harvey. Él se convirtió en su inspiración para los ‘sofás-vaca’ de piel sintética—réplicas de tamaño real de vacas reales—al quedarse quieto para que ella pudiera usarlo como su primer modelo. Al hacer y vender esos ‘sofás-vaca’, pudo comprar una granja de 80 acres, que ahora es el lugar de The Cow Sanctuary.
