Farmer Herman and the Flooding Barn is a truly unique children's book with a big heart.
Based on a true story, this beautiful and whimsical book explores Farmer Herman's quest to solve a VERY big problem. After considering a few silly ideas of how to take care of his flooding barn, Farmer Herman comes up with maybe the silliest idea of all-find 344 friends to come help pick it up and move it!
This inspiring story from Bruno, Nebraska has been told around the world demonstrating the power of solving big problems together. One group of people who were inspired by the Bruno barn-moving story were a group of advocates around the country who are working together to provide more than enough for kids and families in foster care.
As a way to raise awareness for children in foster care, 344 of these passionate people wrote and illustrated this book together. Kids, adoptive and foster parents, child welfare professionals, pastors, organizational leaders, recording artists, and authors have all contributed original drawings that have been used to illustrate the entire book. Illustrators include Jars of Clay, Andrew Peterson, Dennis and Barbara Rainey, Dr. Karyn Purvis, John Luke Robertson (Duck Dynasty) and many others.

people who are counting on the power of unity to bring hope to 400,000 kids in foster care.
