The Little Island

  • Interest Level: Preschool - Grade 3
  • Reading Level: Grade 2

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).

But the Geese have hatched a plan to leave the farm . . . will life be perfect for them now? A powerful modern-day fable for our times told with humor, warmth, and most importantly, hope.

A story of building bridges, not barriers, respect, not resentment, and of finding friendship, not fear.
