Recommended by Senator Tina Smith

It was great to meet with the Morrison County United Way. Their work to make literacy and school supplies more accessible for children in the area is critical for supporting youth development. I even left them my favorite children’s book, The Story of Ferdinand. https://t.co/YSD9qTw5DP (from X)

The Story of Ferdinand book cover

by Munro Leaf, Robert Lawson·You?

A true classic with a timeless message, The Story of Ferdinand has enchanted readers since it was first published in 1936. All the other bulls would run and jump and butt their heads together. But Ferdinand would rather sit and smell the flowers. So what will happen when our pacifist hero is picked for the bullfights in Madrid? This new edition contains the complete original text of the story and the original illustrations.
