Bookroo's summary

Turkey feels lonely on the farm, with no one to befriend. The hen is busy, the rooster is loud, and the goat seems unapproachable. Desperate for companionship, Turkey ventures beyond the farm and encounters a cunning fox eager to befriend her. As danger looms, will her farm friends come to her rescue? This delightful tale of friendship and adventure is filled with humor and heart, capturing the essence of unexpected alliances and the importance of community.

From the publisher

A brand new picture book from beloved author illustrator Valeri Gorbachev.

Turkey is bored! She can’t find anyone to be friends with on the farm–hen is too busy with her chicks, rooster crows too loud, and who could be friends with goat who has a beard and horns?

But when Turkey ventures off the farm to find a friend, she meets someone who would love to be her companion: sly, hungry fox. Will her farm friends save her?

Valeri Gorbachev’s indelible sense of humor and heart make this a wonderful book for the whole family!
