There is so much to see and do on Uncle John's Farm
Author Sally Fitz-Gibbon's beautifully written free verse is a dreamy, evocative ode to life on a farm.
Artist Brian Deines fills each page with warm, impressionistic images, which practically glow with their own source of light.
An inspired collaboration by two great talents who wrap words and images around like a comforting blanket. An absolute must-have for parents and grandparents of young ones who love to cuddle of for a bedtime read.
