Our Friendly Farmhouse

Breathe in fresh, country air and dream of a slower, simpler, sweeter life in this poetic story about building a homestead with heart from bestselling novelist Melissa Ferguson.

One day Papa burst into the kitchen with a wild idea. What if the family moved to the country? What if they built their very own farmhouse between sleeping strawberry fields and the misty Appalachian Mountains? Join a little boy and his adventurous parents and sisters as they chase a dream of open sky, nature to explore, a blooming garden, and lots of animal friends.

This book for 4- to 8-year-olds …

• journeys alongside a family as they reach for the impossible and build their dream home in the country; • follows the creation of a homestead, from digging the foundation and raising the walls to planting a garden, welcoming chicks and kittens, and snuggling a newborn baby on the porch; • inspires families to dream together and set out on their own adventures; and • is the perfect gift for anyone dreaming of country life, intentional living, and rewilding childhood.

You’re invited to Our Friendly Farmhouse, where children swing under the sunset after chasing a rainbow and snacking at a tea party, where ducklings and kittens keep you company, and where friends are always welcome. A place where there is time to wander, memories are made, and hearts are full.
