“Are you ready for a barnyard adventure?…Becky Thomas is a local author and teacher. She loves telling stories behind the scenes at Peaches Place, a farm that is full of life, laughter, and one particularly bossy and squawky rooster named Roscoe.
With each turn of the page, she invites us into a world where kindness reigns supreme, patience is a virtue, and friendship knows no bounds. Through the adventures of Roscoe and his furry and feathered friends, she teaches us lessons that stick faster than glue—lessons about kindness, friendship, forgiveness, and the wonderful human-animal connection.
So, get ready to join Becky on a journey of laughs, learning, and lots of feathery fun!”
