Mia and Nattie: One Great Team!

By Marlene M. Bell

Book Overview

MIA AND NATTIE is a heartwarming book that teaches life lessons from problem-solving to teamwork, but most importantly how to love unconditionally.

In a read-aloud picture book for children who love baby animals, award-winning writer and sheep breeder Marlene M. Bell presents Nattie the lamb's true story.

On a visit to her grandma's farm, eight-year-old Mia discovers a newborn orphaned lamb outside in the cold and takes her to the laundry room, naming her Nattie. As she tries to nurse the lamb back to health, Mia discovers that Nattie is different from the other lambs and struggles to fit in with them like Mia does with other kids her age. When her grandmother says she will sell Nattie to a neighbor, Mia must come up with a plan to keep her friend on the farm-one that will show the family just how special Nattie truly is.

I have had the pleasure of reading her suspense novels and was excited to find out that has written a children’s book. This is such a sweet little story that teaches young ones some very important lessons. Some adults could learn them, as well.
