Hilda is a talking goat. Yes, leadership can come from the most unexpected places.
Even a mere goat, however, has learned that reading aloud as a family can have enormous benefits:
Children who are read to get a head start in acquiring literacy and language skills.
When parents share their love of books with their children, they can foster a lifelong love of reading.
Experts have proved that reading aloud helps prepare children for school.
Children will treasure the time spent close to a loved one, sharing the joy of reading a good book.
That’s why Hilda has become an impassioned “spokesgoat” for reading aloud. He first appeared as a minor character in the family story, Cole Family Christmas, and now has his own book, Hilda, A Very Loyal Goat. Today, he’s traveling the country to share with people the Cole family’s tradition of reading aloud together and advocating his favorite pastime: Reading with loved ones.
