From the bull to the barn cat to the wild bunny, the farmyard bustles with life. The rooster crows, the rams clash, the bees buzz, and over there in the garden, a snake silent and alone winds and watches. David Elliott’s graceful, simple verse and Holly Meade’s exquisite woodcut-and-watercolor illustrations capture a world that is at once timeless yet disappearing from view the world of the family farm.
