Sweet, loving homage to farm animals
Having lived the farming life, I was captivated by the book. I loved the sweet little story, the use of photos and graphics to create a charming book, and the promise of more to come.
So many of us have become separate from the animals who feed us, the natural world that allows us to survive. Children grow up without understanding the intricacies and complexities of life beyond the technological.
Thank you to the Churchmans for this gem of a book. May Sweet Pea and Friends appear in many guises in the years to come.
When the "Knitting Club" gets together for a Sheepover anything can happen!
My wife and I have been avidly following the adventures of Farmer John, Jennifer, Ollie, Sweat Pea, Mighty Finn, Sadie, Violet, Prem, Laddie, Quinn, Cyrano, Mazie and the rest of the farm for several years know. We just received our early-supporters box with books, lambs made from Sweat Pea's wool and other goodies. John even gave us a copy to take to the elementary school library where my wife was Principal. (see photo- MMKA Librarians receive their own copy)
The book is a treasure. John's photography and post-photography work is nothing short of brilliant. The book production is first rate and the neat thing is that the story and the characters are all real. In fact, John often invites supporters to his Vermont farm to meet the various animals we've all grown vicariously to love.
The grand-daughter is getting a copy and her own lamb for Christmas. Cannot recommend this book too highly.
Read about these in a favorite knitting magazine
Read about these in a favorite knitting magazine; followed up and ordered. Loved both The Sheep Over and Brave Little Finn. Stories sweet, illustrations are amazing, and are Mom-Mom and grandaughter approved.
Great book
I love the book. Children can really feel the sense of belonging that these special farm people have for their animals. The kindly, caring interactions are so important and the photography is beautiful.
