In a celebration of a kid-favorite farm feature, a steadfast old barn proves her strength to stand the test of time. From the day they raise her roof and join her beams and boards together, everyone is sure Bess will be a strong barn worth celebrating. She proves them right by welcoming and protecting cows and pigs and horses and more inside her sturdy walls. When she starts to sag and wear down, a shinier barn is quickly built. But is the new barn sturdy and strong enough to keep the animals safe when a big storm hits the farm? Or will Bess have to save the day?With illustrations full of warmth, Bess's story gives kids an engaging view of farm life and shows that when the going gets tough, sometimes enduring strength outlasts what's shiny and new. | Bess The Barn Stands Strong by Elizabeth Gilbert Bedia, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
