Rocky's Silent Morning: An Estella & Gus Story

By Stacia Sutton

Rocky has always greeted the sunrise with a proud crow. Until the morning he cannot.

When the farm wakes to silence, Estella and Gus know something is wrong. Their feathered friend is weak, the coop feels heavy, and the joyful sound that once filled the hill has disappeared.

Determined to help, the two friends search every corner, from rafters to floorboards, and uncover a hidden problem that has been quietly growing through the changing seasons. What began during the rainy days of summer has slowly taken its toll.

With patience, courage, and steady teamwork, Estella and Gus clean, repair, and restore the coop, helping Rocky regain his strength and voice.

Perfect for ages 4 to 8, Rocky's Silent Morning is a beautifully illustrated farm animal picture book about friendship, responsibility, and solving problems together. Ideal for classroom read alouds and cozy family story time, this gentle story encourages children to notice small changes, care for the animals around them, and face challenges with compassion.

With timeless artwork and a comforting emotional arc, Rocky's Silent Morning is a story families will return to again and again, a warm farm tale to share across seasons and pass down through the years.
