Booktalk: There was once a farm where all the animals were friends. Together they looked after the farm and each other. It wasn’t perfect and they didn’t always agree (animals almost never do).

A modern-day fable (for Election Day in the US next week) about building bridges, not barriers, respect, not resentment, and of finding friendship, not fear.
