About This Book

A collection of gentle, illustrated vignettes follows chickens, ducks, geese, lambs, colts, swallows, a kitten, a pig, a mouse, bees, a peacock and other farm animals as they face small crises and everyday moments. Each tale translates animal behavior into child-friendly episodes about growing up, learning to share and listen, coping with jealousy or stubbornness, and giving or receiving help. Stories move between playful adventures and quiet scenes of care, often closing with practical moral observations and a steady emphasis on empathy among animals and between animals and humans.
