The Animal Hedge
By Paul Fleischman
Illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline
A poignant picture-book fable from an inspired pairing.
No one loved animals more than the farmer. All day long, he and his three sons toiled on the farm, singing while they worked. But when a terrible drought comes, the farmer must sell his livestock and move to a cottage with only a hedge around it. Though he is heartbroken, he soon discovers something remarkable about the hedge.
- This moving tale about farming and drought will resonate with Australian audiences.
- Fleischman's testament to vision, passion, and destiny is beautifully complemented by folk art-inspired paintings by Ibatoulline.
