Hooray for Goats is a tale of friendship, fun, and the surprising power of goats!

Keisha is feeling lonely in her new home. Back in the city, she had a big park to play in and lots of friends. But now, her backyard is covered in thick, twisty vines, and there’s no space for games-not even for Boots, her playful pup.

When Keisha’s mom asks how they can make things better, Keisha wishes for room to run and play. Together, they search for ways to clear the vines. Out of all the choices-digging, plastic sheets, big machines-one idea stands out: goats!

Soon, Kristi the “goat lady” arrives with a truck full of hungry, happy goats, ready to munch away the mess. Keisha even gets to name one-Disco! As the goats get to work, something magical happens: curious neighbors stop by, bringing snacks, music, and laughter.
Before long, Keisha isn’t just clearing her yard-she’s making new friends! When the goats finish their job, the vines are gone, and the yard is perfect for playing. But the fun doesn’t end there-now the goats are off to help a neighbor … and the party continues! Hooray for Goats is a heartwarming tale of friendship, fun, and the surprising power of goats!
