Lily Beth Saves the Animals

By Carrie Koster and Julie Sneeden

Does your child love animals and dream of making a difference? This heartwarming picture book shows them they don't have to wait.

When Lily stands up in class and announces she's going to be a vet and save ALL the animals, her classmates giggle. But Lily means it. With a crumpled list in her pocket and a heart full of determination, she sets out to help the animals around her right now, not someday.

One hurt seagull. One wandering kitten. Two very confused chickens. And one very patient duck later, Lily is discovering that helping isn't always easy. But it's always worth it.

Lily Beth Saves the Animals is a funny, warm, and inspiring picture book for children ages 4 to 8 that celebrates compassion, courage, and the belief that kids can take meaningful action today. Perfect for animal lovers, aspiring veterinarians, and any child who has ever wanted to make a difference in the world.

What makes this story truly special: Lily is real. The little girl in this book grew up rescuing animals along the Delaware coast, and today she is pursuing her dream as a veterinary student. The story that begins in these pages is still being written, and that makes every page matter just a little bit more.
