I happened across A Family for Old Mill Farm at a children’s bookstore a few years ago. I immediately bought it because it spoke to me. We were also looking for a house and I could relate to the search this family was going through in the picture book.

We didn’t end up buying a farm, but I understood the mission to find the home that is just right for your family. That is the story of A Family for Old Mill Farm.

A Family for Old Mill Farm

This is a delightful story of two real estate agents showing families prospective houses. One is a raccoon (showing various bird and animal families) and the other is a human (showing the human family).

The humans visits a wide variety of houses in very different locations. With each one, there is something not quite right for their particular needs. They eventually discover Old Mill Farm and it is perfect for their growing family.

A Family for Old Mill Farm is sweet book that I think would appeal to many families, especially those who have the longing to find that just right little place to live and grow.

This is a wonderful cozy story to enjoy with your little ones (or just dream about on your own).
