Miracles abound in life.
Come join Oma for a cozy story, as she tells her grandchildren about
rescuing a calf born and lost in a snowstorm. Oma is alone on the
farm and worried about the calf, which may not live if not found in
time. With resourcefulness and perseverance, can she achieve a
farmland miracle?
Children will be drawn into this story, along with Oma’s grandchildren as concern for the calf ’s survival mounts. Based on actual events from the author’s upbringing on a Midwestern farm, the book focuses on the value of determination and the spirit of both human and animal mothers.
Illustrator Andrew Holmquist collaborates with author Patrick “Packy” Mader to capture the wintry farmscape and a bustling household facing an anxious time with hope. The detailed illustrations clearly reflect the changing mood and sense of purpose depicted in the story.
Readers who recognize the rewards and hardships of farm life, positive messages, and miracles in life will especially appreciate Oma Finds a Miracle.
