A New York Times best-selling author and a Caldecott Honor-winning
illustrator evoke life on a farm in a simple, lyrical text and boldly
expressive images.
From the bull to the barn cat to the wild bunny, the farmyard bustles
with life. The rooster crows, the rams clash, the bees buzz, and over
there in the garden, a snake -- silent and alone -- winds and watches.
David Elliott's graceful, simple verse and Holly Meade's exquisite
woodcut and watercolor illustrations capture a world that is at once
timeless yet disappearing from view -- the world of the family farm.
