Poppy

It all started with a crooked stick ...Celebrating the multicultural tradition of storytelling, this magical tale by debut author Scarlett Baker follows Snow Pea the peacock and her fellow "peeps" on Johnny Buck Scroggin's farm. Though Snow Pea and her friends love to play and dance in the fields, they always look forward to the full moon and, with it, the arrival of Poppy the Grand Pea. Around the campfire each month, Poppy shares stories of kindness, courage, honesty, gratitude, respect, patience, and love, helping the peeps-and young readers-discover that true beauty shines from within and that strong values help guide us through life.
