Bookroo's summary
After a tornado leaves him with only scrap metal, a determined farmer faces skepticism from his neighbors. Undeterred, he embarks on an ambitious project, transforming the metal into astonishing mechanimals. As his creations take shape, the farmer's journey challenges the limits of imagination and perseverance. Will his dreams soar beyond the doubts of those around him? Discover how one man's vision defies the odds and inspires belief in the impossible.
From the publisher
When a tornado leaves a farmer with a heap of scrap metal and no animals, his neighbors are sure it’s all over for him. But the determined farmer refuses to admit defeat. His plans are big, and when his neighbors dismiss them with the words, “When pigs fly,” they grow bigger still. The farmer sets to work to turn that scrap metal into some rather surprising creatures. Mechanimals will help all of us believe in our dreams, despite what the neighbors may say.
