The Goat Lady by Jane BregoliMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
For a little kid’s book, this was pretty inspiring. It’s the true story of an old lady that was doing amazing things helping people all over the world even while her neighbors were complaining. Before anyone took the time to really talk with her and learn her story, everyone was judging her based on what they could see on the outside. With all the animals and property in disrepair, people thought they knew everything they needed to.
Once the truth was known, people were amazed to see just how wrong they were. Noelie was more than anyone ever knew and with some help, was able to show everyone why you should never pass judgement about someone without knowing their story.
The fact that this is a true story makes it all the more inspiring. This one lady that everyone looked down on was doing so much good in the world without any thought of recognition. She had the ability to help, so she did. How many of us help others just because we can with no thought of being thanked or recognized for what we did? In a world where everything is based on how many likes we can get, I think everyone could learn something from the Goat Lady.
