Description
Description
Discover how one individual impacts her community economically and how YOU can too in this inspiring story about a farmer and her friends! Farmer Fran's community depends on her. She collects the eggs, milks the cows, picks the vegetables, and delivers everything to her customers, keeping the neighborhood going! Then a storm hits, destroying the farm, and Farmer Fran has to lean on her neighbors in her time of need. The town creates a fundrasier for her and Farmer Fran learns the true value of community. For fans of Richard Scarry, here is a gentle introduction to the concept of money and community, using heartwarming animal characters, from a New York Times bestselling illustrator.
