This is a story of the loving relationship between a farmer and his sheep, pigs, goats and chickens. Farmer Brown has animals on his farm, but they are his friends, not his source of income. He has relied on his corn crop to bring in the money needed to keep the farm running. But he has never been particularly good at growing corn. One year he finally grows an amazing corn crop but loses it when torrential rains make it impossible for him to harvest. He is distraught. His chickens can feel that Farmer Brown is not himself, is sad, but don't know why. So, they come up with a scheme to try to help him out in the only way they know how. This children's story for early readers provides an opportunity for parents to engage with their children, explaining the subtle messages in the story around kindness, love and respect.
