Forever Friends Farm

Visit Forever Friends Farm, starring a quirky and diverse cast of animals!

In this first installment of the series, Jasper, an unfriendly cat, moves to Forever Friends Farm, but his unhelpful and self-absorbed antics quickly wreak havoc and threaten the success of a party the animals are planning for PJ the goose, the youngest member of their friend group. Expecting to be expelled for his behavior, Jasper marvels at the kindness around him and ends up embracing the menagerie of animals -- and their friendship.

Created by New York Times-bestselling author Annie Auerbach and renowned illustrator Luke Flowers, Forever Friends Farm promises social-emotional learning skills with a huge dose of laughter and engaging storytelling.

The animals at Forever Friends Farm welcome Jasper the cat into the fold, but he has some things to learn about being a good pal.

"...Bright, cartoony illustrations feature pops of action that will appeal to kids. The book offers some nods to inclusivity (P.J. uses an inhaler, Jasper has a leg brace, and Lola the cow uses some Spanish words), all of which is laudable... The final page features the lyrics to a song called “We Are Glad You’re Here!” (sung to the tune of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”) with a QR code to listen in." -Kirkus Reviews (April)
