In BARN IN WINTER: Safe and Warm on the Farm, a cozy, lyrical board book, the theme is comfort and reassurance. A winter storm is brewing and snow swirls around hiding the pig pen, the field and other places. Barn hugs all the animals close and secure inside.

BARN IN SPRING: Out to Explore, has a theme of self-confidence. With the coming of spring, Barn gently nudges the animals outdoors to explore their world and express themselves in it. At day's end, they - together with some new additions - come back into the comfy security of Barn.

BARN IN FALL: Festival Fun on the Farm celebrates autumn with Barn opening her doors to young guests who choose pumpkins, ride hayrides, and interact with the farm animals. When it' s time to rest in the glow of the harvest moon light, Barn hugs all the animals tight as they nestle in soft beds of hay.
