Rory Stands Out

Rory is a different kind of goat, but some don’t like that.

In this first book of a series, Rory and Momma Butterscotch go on an adventure to find a new home and a herd that embraces them.

The sweet and adventurous characters introduce the importance of diversity and belonging.

This early reader book is perfect for first time readers and family sharing.
