Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

When Farmer Jim and Farmer Rosa hear about wild animals in need, they begin to look at their cheerful petting farm in a new way. Donkeys, goats, lambs, cows, and hens have always had a safe place in Golden Valley - but what about the animals who are hurt, lost, displaced, or no longer able to live where they belong?Together with children, volunteers, builders, and veterinarians, the farmers create the Wild Animal Sanctuary of Second Chances.One by one, new animals arrive: curious raccoons, rescued owls, young bears, lost wolf pups, parrots who need room to fly, meerkats who need space to dig, zebras looking for a herd, Highland cows ready for wider fields, and gibbons who need companionship.As the sanctuary grows, children learn to watch carefully, speak softly, and understand that kindness sometimes means giving wild animals the space and care they need.Inspired by real animal sanctuaries and rescues, this picture book introduces young readers to animal care, rescue work, and the difference between pets and wild animals.
