"You are not going to believe what is going on with the animals on this farm. Let's gallop over and and take a listen." "Oops!!! I forgot you can't gallop, you're a people, so just hop on my back and let's go...."

About the book
From New York Times bestseller Rory Feek, one half of the singing duo Joey+Rory, comes this delightful book. It's full of fun, energy and.... confusion. You see each farm animal looks at another and wishes they were just the same.... magically their sounds become just like the ones that they covet. Oh my! Farmyard mayhem ensues!
The cow wants freedom to gallop around just like the horse, the sheep wants an awesome snout to dig in the mud like the pig, the family dog wants to be inside the house like the cat, and the cat wants adventures and places to go just like her human, just to name a few.
Kids will have fun sorting out the animal sounds while enjoying the fun rhyming and adorable illustrations. I just wish there had been a wrap up at the end with everyone agreeing that they are perfect just the way they are. It would have been a lovely ending to celebrate uniqueness. The flip side could be at the end the farmsteaders ( I think I just made up the word) were celebrating diversity which is a great message too. Whatever your take away I know kids (and adults too) will love this hilarious story.

About the illustrator
From an early age, I had it in mind to draw and play with colours, so much so that I naturally went to the National School of Fine Arts in Caen, France, whith I attended from 1991 to 1995 (option: Visual Communication).
Right after a short stay in the multimedia market, I illustrated my first album for the young Qui tire la langue? published by Magnard, in 2002. Some more commissions followed and I have had books published by du Ricochet, Les Editions Hemma, Fleurus, Larousse, Atlas, Hachette Children’s Books, Child’s Play, Wayland, Milan Jeunesse, Magnard Scolaire, Editions Sed…
Moreover, I work for the young children's press: Wakou (Milan Presse), Mille et une Histoires and Arc en Ciel (Fleurus Presse). I also work for publishing agencies and administrations.
While I am illustrating a story, I think up a funny and coloured world with a hint of tenderness. I work with acrylic paint and sometimes on a computer.
I live and work in Normandy (France) where I was born.
