Overview

Ollie, the wise Owl, and his animal friends are living happily in the Farm's Chestnut Tree until Buzz, a large, mean Buzzard threatens one of their Chestnut Tree family members. When Buzz tries to bully one of his friends, Ollie has a surprise waiting for Buzz down by the fishing pond! All the animal friends, and Buzz for sure, learn a lesson about outsmarting bullies who mess with our friends.

REVIEW:  

"A multi faceted bewitching tale about beloved characters outsmarting a bully. A perfect book for every child or childlike one among us. Love for one’s friends, wins!  As both an educator and Children’s pastor I highly recommend this book to help develop children’s resources in dealing with bullies. I especially loved how Ollie beat Buzz with his intelligence and love for his friends and bystanders”

About the author

Working in the arena of global business for over three decades, Thom now lives on a farm south of Atlanta, Georgia with his wife of 40 years, Gail. Since he received a typewriter as a Christmas gift when 11 years old, Thom has felt most comfortable when putting his ideas and dreams down on paper. "Living on a large farm alongside the animals and ever-changing landscape is the most inspirational period of my life. Trading a seat on a je,t flying to business meetings for a seat on a tractor is one of the most rewarding things I have ever done", says Thom. "Watching the daily ebb and flow of nature and the interplay between various plants and animals in their natural environment is a pure joy which I wish everyone could experience." Before the current life on the farm, Thom served as a senior executive with global companies, was a partner in a Big 4 accounting firm and an adjunct professor at Columbia University while his family lived in NYC . He is also a graduate of the University of Florida. His writing for children springs from seeing 7 grandchildren jump from their parents' cars when they arrive at the Farm and observing their emotions, beliefs, and perspectives immediately change. With the Adventures at the Farm Series of books, the hope is that all children can experience the part of life, the full of wonder part of life, which is found when the devices are turned off and the imagination is turned on.
