Praise for A Calf Named Brian Higgins
“A beautiful heart-warming story filled with emotions. …a strong reminder that we
cannot underestimate our contributions to ending poverty… small progress matters.”
–Beatrice Biira, Advocate for Education and Women’s Empowerment,
Community Coordinator, Heifer International
“Kristen Ball has crafted a true-to-life story about our common humanity,
how goodwill transcends continents, languages, lifestyles, income levels,
and life histories. …we have much to teach each other.”
–Jeffrey Sachs, Best-selling author and Senior UN advisor
“Today, more than anything, the world needs lessons of empathy, action,
and hope.
A Calf Named Brian Higgins
provides all these in an engaging and
thought-provoking story that causes one to ask,
What should I do? What can I do?
”
–Tom Stewart, Co-founder, Coalition 2030, and
Director of Program, Indian Mountain School, CT
“Kristin celebrates and embraces differences in her adventure to Kenya. At the same time
her book is very real and describes peoples’ lives in rural Kenya. This is a must read for
all, especially young people, to become aware of the stark realities… away from home.”
–Radhika Iyengar, Ph.D. Director of Education, Center on Globalization
and Sustainable Development, The Earth Institute, Columbia University
