"Heifer Series"

The "Heifer Series" consists of non-fiction, documentary-style stories adapted into literary works by children's literature authors. These stories are based on real-life case studies of rural farming families supported by the "Heifer International China Project Office."

Through these stories, readers will understand the poverty alleviation work of "Heifer International" as well as the self-reliance, hard work, and resilience of the farmers. The series deepens children's understanding of China's diverse landscapes, its vast farming communities, and ethnic minorities. It also encourages them to appreciate the grace of the phrase "it is more blessed to give than to receive" and the empowering spirit of "helping people help themselves."
