Description

Billy is the most energetic kid in his flock, a young goat who can run faster, jump higher, and butt harder than any of his peers. Stuck on a pretty Swiss farm, he watches the green slopes and rocky hills beyond the fence, dreaming of a wider playground. Though his mother warns him that he’s still too small for the world alone, his restless spirit keeps urging him onward.

One day the chance arrives. While the herd is being moved, Billy launches a daring attack, knocking the farmer flat and sending a neighboring milk carrier sprawling, spilling pails of golden milk across the road. With a final leap he evades the pursuing dogs and bolts into the forest, where his mother waits, and together they set their sights on the distant mountains. The escape marks the beginning of a spirited journey full of mischief, discovery, and the promise of new horizons.
