14 Cows for America
by Carmen Agra Deedy
“Because there is no nation so powerful it cannot be wounded, nor a people so small they cannot offer mighty comfort”.14 Cows for America is a little known story of a remarkable gift to the American people from a small Maasai village in Kenya following the events of 911. The colored pencil and pastel illustrations are stunning and capture the compassion of this once feared warrior tribe and their marvelous gift of life to the United States. |
