In this adorable illustrated picture book for kids written by Dan McKernan (Saved by the Barn), the rescue farm animals at Barn Sanctuary decide to help a cow who is dealing with fear and anxiety in her new home. Children will learn the importance of friendship and compassion, as well as why it’s important to support others during hard times.

Inside this book, kids ages 4-8 will discover:

• A positive message about friendship, kindness, and understanding others
• How to show compassion to others
• Ways of coping with difficult situations, including how to deal with fear and anxiety
• A page with information on Barn Sanctuary and their rescue efforts, with information on ways you can support the real-life animals featured in the book

This Farm Is a Family follows a group of rescued farm animals who are living their best lives at Barn Sanctuary. Each one is eager to meet the newest arrival, Buttercup the cow, and show her all the fun things they can do together. But Buttercup doesn’t want to play--in fact, she doesn’t want anything to do with the other animals. So with a lot of love and understanding, the animals work together to help Buttercup discover she’s part of a new family and can leave her old fears behind.

This Farm Is a Family is perfect for: 

• Birthdays, Christmas, and Easter or Passover gifts, as well as back to school reading
• Children ages 4-8 who love farm animals and cuddly creatures
• Teaching young readers kindness and compassion, and that they can make a difference in the world
• Kids who are in a new school, new neighborhood, or new house

My thoughts: this awesome kids story book is  written about a real sanctuary for animals that

 need a forever home because of disabilities or temperaments. It's an important non-profit 

nonprofit that is usually overlooked in our day and age and it is important for people to know

 about it. It also shows that showing a little bit of kindness towards someone who is unlikable

 to someone goes a long way in winning their trust and love. Children of all ages and adults

 will love this book. It is a must-read and a must-have for a private library or public library. 

I was   given a copy free ànd àll opinions are my own.. I highly recommend this book.
