They hope their experiences on the farm will help children understand the importance of farm animals and inspire them to appreciate all of God's creatures. The Chaney twins have been blessed with growing up on the same farm their mother and grandfather Pappy Long grew up on. It's a farm rich in heritage and memories with a deep-rooted tradition in agriculture. The girls are proud to help continue that legacy of love for the land and animals.
Rianna and Sheridan are now working on their next two books, one devoted to America's hard working dairy farmers and one on young farm animals, specifically swine, poultry, goats, dairy, beef and sheep.
There is a real need to educate our young people about animal agriculture. It has also become necessary to show urban and city people the good care that farm animals receive. Rebecca Chaney believes she achieves this through the eyes and experiences of her daughters and through captivating and fun photographs by professional photographer and book co-creator Kelly Hahn Johnson of Sharpsburg, Md.

Little Star: Raising our First Calf was introduced while in Denver in July 2008. Chaney launched this first in
a new children's agricultural education book series by her twin
daughters Rianna and Sheridan Chaney during the 2008 Cattle Industry
Summer Conference. Her presentation at the cattlewomen's program was followed by an interview with Orion Samuelson,
Agribusiness Director, WGN Radio, Chicago, IL., and co-host of This Week in Agri-Business on RFD-TV. The segment has already aired on WGN Radio and several times on national cable network RFD-TV.
