The Animal HedgePaperback, 13 May 2008

The versatile Fleischman presents a delightful tale of following one's dreams. . . . Joyous, peaceful, and lovely. -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

No one loves animals more than the farmer. But when a drought befalls the land, and he must sell his livestock and move to a cottage with only a hedge around it, he and his three sons discover something remarkable about their hedge -- and something unique about each person who trims its branches. A testament to vision, passion, and destiny, matched by Bagram Ibatoulline's virtuoso paintings.
