Hi Everyone,
As you know, my name is Peak. My job is to
represent the farms, grassy hills and rocky, mountainous
areas of the world. I see readers everywhere I travel! One of my
favorite stories is The Three Billy Goats Gruff. The Goat Lady
by Jane Bregoli is one of my favorite books.
My family lives on a farm, but we have relatives all over the
world. Some live wild in hot, stony regions and others live in
cool, grassy fields, watched over by goatherds. We help humans
by providing goat milk for drinking and making cheese. Our wool
is used to make warm blankets and clothing.
