Reviews from readers

"Farmer Tom shares a delightful message of adventure and connection. Vibrant illustrations and clever rhymes guide us through our farm visit. Readers of all ages will enjoy Maybelle, Katie, and the horses - of courses! My favorite phrase is where we "... stand in the hayfield and let the wind speak." As a farm girl myself, Farmer Tom is a gentle reminder to make time for nature and one another."
— Maureen Stockman | Decorah, Iowa

"I love this sweet book! The illustrations are fun and colorful, and also convey the beauty and sense of peace found in the countryside. The rhyming adventures with Farmer Tom as he shows visitors around the farm really capture the reader’s attention. As a person who loves to be outdoors, my favorite part is when the visitors to the farm ultimately take notice of how time spent outdoors can help us reconnect with nature and find joy in small things. In a world of ever increasing technology, this is a wonderful reminder for both children and adults!”

"I love being able to introduce stories and scenes of the Midwest to young people, especially the ones who don't already know the joys of farm life. I've bought copies of Farmer Tom for each of my nieces and nephews, and all of my friends' kids!"
— Matt Clark | Frederick, Maryland
