Sugar Lump, the Orphan Calf is a heart warming children's book about a newborn calf found alone lying in the pasture by twelve-year-old Marcy. Without any hesitation she takes the full responsibility of raising the little calf she names Sugar Lump. Marcy knows she can not keep the calf after he is weaned, but still, she forms a close relationship with him. As the white- faced calf with a black ring circling his right eye grows, his behavior becomes quite amusing. Ultimately Marcy becomes involved in a suspenseful search that ends in an unexpected ending. Although the story is fiction the calf's humorous behavior is true.

Mrs. Simmons still has Sugar Lump who is now an eleven-year-old, 1,600 pound steer. He still comes running to us when we call him she says and he is always doing something unusual that the typical cow wouldn't do.
