In this beloved story by Rory Vaden, a young man learns how buffalo differ from cows and the difference it makes in how they fare in storms.

Your child will want you to read this again and again, and you won’t mind! You know they’re learning a lesson that will carry them throughout their life, helping them charge the storms of life like the Buffalo!
But the most powerful stage I’ve ever spoken on is the one where I lay down beside my sons at night and read them a bedtime story.Â
One night, as I was reading to my sons, I became frustrated with the stories I was reading. The lessons weren’t clear, the stories didn’t create conversation, and sometimes, they didn’t even rhyme! That’s when the buffalo story I tell in books and on stages for adults, flooded my mind as a children’s book.
I went straight to my office and wrote the story of the buffalo in a way my boys would like to hear it. This story is more than a sweet bedtime story. It’s a family mantra that we use to encourage our boys to charge into the storms of life. As you sit down to read this book with your child, my hope is that you’ll adopt a BE THE BUFFALO attitude as a family so that as storms come your way, you’ll choose to charge into the storm!Â
