Excellent!!!

This is an excellent book. Very well written!! Marcia is a wonderful author!! Ora's Farm shows how children deal with obstacles in their lives. I, like Marcia, had a huge obstacle in my life with loosing my son, but thanks to author's like Marcia who have the gift of sharing their experiences to help others, it becomes a little easier. Way to go Marcia! Waiting for that next book! You are such an inspiration!

A very wholesome book

I enjoyed the book because I could relate to it beingbrought up on a small farm back in the late 30s and early40's. The children had their problems like we did manyyears ago and things turned out ok. I loved the illustrationstoo. I read Stephen Moon and the author certainly expressher self well. She's a good writer.

Wish I had read this book as a young girl...

I enjoyed Ora's Farm so much. I read it on a Saturday afternoon outside on my deck sipping coffee. When I finished it, I took a deep breath, relaxed and watched the birds for another 1/2 hour, contemplating the lessons Ora taught his young friends.I bought 2 extra copies as gifts. One for a 12 year old who has divorced parents and one for my son who is 21 and has had some dramatic changes in his life for the past 2 years. Ora's Farm reminded me of what is important in life. Sometimes we all need that. This would have been a memorable and significant reading for me as a young girl, too. I would have been a little easier on myself had I realized other children had fears and difficulties just like I did.I thought the illustrations were beautiful and really helped bring the characters to life.

my opinion of ora' farm

i thought ora's farm dealt with real life issues kids have today. so many children in the world have problems in their life but do not know where to turn for a friend. this books gives a child a warm feeling that there are adults that do listen and care about kids and their problems. it shows kids that there are outlets in the world to voice their fustrations. it is hard being a kid today and fitting in. this book shows how children can have problems and deal with them. it is very hearwarming to find an author that can relate to children withput making them feel insignifant. the story made me feel so inspired to want to help somebody.

What a lovely book for everyone!

I am loaning this book to my sister to read to her children, and when I first picked up the book, I didn't necessarily think it was a "childrens' book"! But what great life lessons, and beautiful illustrations. Not every child will be lucky enough to have someone like Ora in their lives, be it their grandparents or perhaps an older neighbor, but all children - and adults -need these life lessons. Can't wait to reread it and start quoting Ora. And when I can't sleep, instead of counting sheep I will take Ora's advice and count my blessings!
