 **Disclosure**This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

About the Book:

In this adorable illustrated picture book for kids written by Dan McKernan (Saved by the Barn), the rescue farm animals at Barn Sanctuary decide to help a cow who is dealing with fear and anxiety in her new home. Children will learn the importance of friendship and compassion, as well as why it’s important to support others during hard times.

Inside this book, kids ages 4-8 will discover:


A positive message about friendship, kindness, and understanding others
How to show compassion to others
Ways of coping with difficult situations, including how to deal with fear and anxiety
A page with information on Barn Sanctuary and their rescue efforts, with information on ways you can support the real-life animals featured in the book
This Farm Is a Family follows a group of rescued farm animals who are living their best lives at Barn Sanctuary. Each one is eager to meet the newest arrival, Buttercup the cow, and show her all the fun things they can do together. But Buttercup doesn’t want to play--in fact, she doesn’t want anything to do with the other animals. So with a lot of love and understanding, the animals work together to help Buttercup discover she’s part of a new family and can leave her old fears behind.

My Review:

 Farm animals are so much fun! We have had chickens, quails, and rabbits. We are still raising chickens quail. They are so sweet together and I truly believe they communicate with each other. This sweet book shows that these sweet little farm animals for a family and its just the cutest. 

 The animals featured in the book are rescued animals. Many people feel like only dogs or cats are the animals that get rescued but thats not necessarily true. bigger animals can become rescues too. Buttercup joins the crew and this is her story. So sweet! 

 At the end of the book you get a special treat! The actual pictures of the actual characters from the book are included. I think that was my favorite part.

 I loved this book! The illustrations are great and the story is very touching!
