Rosie lives on a farm with her family. New animal friends arrive with each passing season: a dog named Keeper, a kitten named Sunny, a bird named Glitter, a pygmy goat named Pal, a horse named Bee, a piglet named Tulip, and a llama named Mama. From each of the animals, Rosie learns the values of loyal friendship, patience, self-care, playfulness, hard work, and the most important lesson of all: how to take care of each other.

In this beautiful book, illustrated by award-winning artist Khoa Le, children and parents alike will see the lessons our friends and our work can teach us—and the love they instill in us for one another.
