I’m always on the lookout for something uplifting to share about our communities and last week, while scrolling through social media, I found the perfect story for the holiday season. If you haven’t been following
The Farm on Route 66
on YouTube, where they’ve gathered nearly 97,000 followers, or on Facebook, where more than 473,000 people tune in, let me suggest that you do. The Palmer family of Joseph City has captured the hearts of viewers around the world by sharing everyday moments on the farm, their faith and the strength of their family bonds. So you can imagine my delight when I learned they’ve just published a children’s book,
, written right there on the farm. According to the synopsis, this is the first in a 12-book picture-book series, with each month bringing a new adventure and a new character trait for children to explore. Young readers will follow the real animals of the Palmer family farm as they learn about courage, kindness, honesty, teamwork, gratitude, and more. To me, that feels like pure wholesomeness. In a world that often feels noisy, harsh and divided, the Palmer family’s work is a welcome light, an example of hard work, deep love and unwavering faith. Their new book is available on Amazon for just $12.99, and it’s well worth a look if you’re seeking something positive this holiday season.
