Synopsis:
Maya the cow, J.D. the piglet, Hilda the sheep, and a dozen more animals all speak directly to the reader, showing off their unique personalities in this wonderful collection of poems. Master watercolorist Robert Rahway Zakanitch provides a portrait that perfectly captures the essence of each creature. Together the poems and paintings add up to a picture of life on the friendliest farm around.
Maya Gottfried based her poems on real animals from Farm Sanctuary, a national animal rights organization and shelter, that she has volunteered for. Farm Sanctuary is a safe haven for injured or abused farm animals with locations in New York and California.
Author Comment:
Of the books that I've written, this is the most important and meaningful to me. We tried to capture the animal residents of Farm Sanctuary's true personalities. And these guys have personality! Farm Santuary's shelters are magical places, filled with peaceful, happy animals, and their loving caretakers. To learn more about Farm Sanctuary, please visit www.farmsanctuary.org
