About The Book

Most farms are peaceful. Most farms are calm. But not this one.

When the Rooster stops crowing, nothing works the way it should. The cows are running amok, ducks are armed with water guns, pigs are trying to fly, and the farmer is at his wits’ end.

In this zany, rhyming picture book for ages 4–8, Calm Your Farmdelivers hilarity and heart as the animals spin into wild mayhem — and it takes a wise duck and a deep breath to restore the peace.

Told in rhyming verse, this picture book ends where it begins: with a reminder to breathe, laugh, and not take life (or flying tractors) too seriously.

‘Kids will adore this fun, and funny, farmyard tale and its animal antics, along with its heartwarming and important messages of looking after yourself – physically and emotionally. Cock-a-doodle-doooo!’  - justwriteforkids
