En este libro para niños, los murciélagos comen fruta del bosque. Cuando los ganaderos tallan todo el bosque y el ganado come todo el pasto, los murciélagos ayudan a sembrar un bosque nuevo. Los moradores del lugar aprenden a apreciar los murciélagos en vez de huirlos.

Barbara was a happy young bat who liked to eat fruit from the forest. When ranchers cut down the forest and cattle ate all the grass the bats helped re-plant a new forest by scattering fruit seeds in their droppings. The local residents learn to appreciate the bats instead of trying to scare them away.
