Great Reads from Great Places

"Together We Grow" by Susan Vaught

Age: 4-8 years

A storm drives all the farm animals indoors except for a lonely fox family. The barn isn’t their home — but where else will they go for safety? This poignant picture book celebrates inclusivity, acceptance and the importance of rebuilding a community in the wake of disaster.

Susan Vaught lives on a farm in rural Kentucky with her family. She is an award-winning author of novels, poems and essays for young readers. “Together We Grow” (Paula Wiseman) is her first picture book.
