"This story, for kids, illustrates the friendship we can have with Jesus.

Jenny wanted a baby cow. She knew just which one she wanted - the black one. But Lucy, the too-white calf, caught her attention and won Jenny's heart. Jenny knew Lucy was special, and before long the two of them became a team that brought unexpected fame to the Dawn-Lynn Dairy.

Lucy learned how to play tag, bob for apples in water, and even fetch like a dog! Jenny loved taking special care of Lucy and teaching her all sorts of fun things. But most of all, Jenny knew Lucy was her best friend. Lucy helped her feel better whenever she was sad or lonely. And as Lucy grew to be a yearling then a milking cow, she showed Jenny that she never forgot what Jenny taught her. Jenny worked hard to help Lucy become a prize-winning cow.

Corrine Vanderwerff's illustrative writing will appeal to readers of all ages. Preschoolers and early readers will appreciate the easy-to-read sentences and funny predicaments in which Lucy and Jenny find themselves. Learning the responsibilities of having a pet can often be a busy experience - but as Jenny found out - a rewarding one too!"
