Dan's Lost Calf

By RD Hayes

Dan's Lost Calf by RD Hayes

When young Dan discovers a newborn calf all alone in the pasture, his whole world changes. With the help of Uncle Joe and Dixie, the loyal Great Pyrenees farm dog, Dan learns what it truly means to care for a living creature. From bottle-feeding at dawn to brushing soft, fuzzy ears at night, Dan's days fill with responsibility, laughter, and love.

As the calf-whom Dan names Bella-grows stronger, so does the bond between them. But caring for an animal on a busy Kansas farm isn't always easy. Dan must work hard, stay patient, and show kindness even on the toughest days. Through every challenge, Bella teaches him lessons about friendship, courage, and the joy of helping others.

Set against the warm, pastoral beauty of the Midwest, Dan's Calf is a heartwarming picture book that celebrates family, farm life, and the special connection between kids and animals. Perfect for young readers who love farm stories, animal adventures, and gentle tales with big hearts.
