Winner at the 2013 Moonbeam Children's Book Awards. A fun, original
tale that invites us to open our minds and free our spirits, seeing
things the way a child sees them: as they really are.
A tractor came chugging down the road. Its noisy engine prevented its
driver from hearing all the negative comments and reproaches people
yelled as she drove past. Of course, considering the silly things some
people say, sometimes it's better when there's lots and lots of noise!
This funny woman, a farmer by profession, drove up and down with her
trusty vehicle, looking empowered and proud of her job: agriculture.
Many adult citizens she encountered along the way didn't understand the
extravagance and the uniqueness of this special and original driver.
However, when a child saw her and yelled "Hi there, lady on the
tractor!", the tractor came to a halt and the lady turned off the motor
and marveled at that freshness, that free spirit that only children
transmit.
