Then a storm hits, destroying the farm, and Farmer Fran has to lean on her neighbors in her time of need. The town creates a fundrasier for her and Farmer Fran learns the true value of community.

About the author:
Kelly Rice Schmitt is an energy broker and award-winning children's book author who loves getting small humans excited about big ideas . . . like trucking!

Her picture books include, I Ship, a Science Friday 2023 Best STEM book for Kids and 2023 SCBWI Crystal Kite Award winner; I Fuel, a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Award winner, and I TRUCK, which received a Booklist starred review.
