Gertie the Goat
by Andrew McCrae


Meet Gertie, a very social goat who can’t seem to find her friends Andrew and Lacey. Where could they possibly be? Join her on her rhyming adventure as she searches the farmyard for her missing friends.


Andrew and Lacey McCrae are blessed to farm near Vermilion, AB with their family. Gertie is a real life goat that they were given as a wedding present by their hilarious bridesmaids who later received goats of their own. Who knew at the time that they had selected a goat with such a captivating personality that would inspire a children's book. All the animals Gertie interacts with in her adventure are animals that Andrew and Lacey have loved over the years.
