New Children's Book Explores the Importance of Family and Friendships

LLoyd by Brandie Woodward is an entertaining children's story about a goat who reveals the true value of friendship.

Amagansett, NY (PRWEB) February 6, 2008 -- Lloyd, a new book by Brandie Woodward, is a gorgeously illustrated children's book about Lloyd, a young goat who discovers the true meaning of friendship.

When Lloyd moves to a new farm owned by a loving family, he quickly makes many friends. In particular, Lloyd becomes close with the children, Elliot and Olivia Benson and the box turtle, Phil. Author Woodward enthusiastically takes readers on playful adventures with Lloyd on the farm including a significant heroic act Lloyd performs.

The amusing story comes from Woodward's childhood memories of her neighbors' dairy farm and their pet goat. Initially Woodward wrote the tale for an English class assignment when she was in high school. The image of the friendly goat traveled with her through high school and college and she felt compelled to officially tell her anecdote. Children will adore the cheerful illustrations and the warm-hearted story, and parents will cherish the special messages about loyalty and family values. In an easy-to-read approach, Lloyd is sure to be a cherished addition to any home or school library.
