Mud puddles, speckled eggs and cozy sheep's wool...It's a day in the country for mom and baby.
It starts when we pull on rubber boots. Then we're ready to splash in puddles, pet the cozy sheep's wool and explore the sounds and sights of the farm. When we're all done, we go inside to hang socks to dry, take a warm bubble bath and snuggle up in bed under the stars.
Meditative, simple and sweet, Country Baby gives us a fun farm adventure that is a joy to read together.
