by Melanie Lotfali

Overview

Leezah, Skye-Maree and Olingah Fitzgerald live with their parents on Fellowship Farm.

They help their dad feed the cows, add stickers to their virtues poster and learn to deal with bullies.

Then you will join the Fitzgerald children on their many adventures with puppies, snake bites, treasure hunts, bonfires, camping by the sea, and tree houses. And as they go they sometimes practice their virtues, and sometimes forget…

Editorial Reviews

Thanks a million for the wonderful books, you have no idea how it has changed our lives in just one book. The virtues are now part of our everyday language. We have tried in the past but our daughter has not been interested at all, now we are creating a virtues chart of our own and she is forever pointing out which virtue we are using. It is fantastic.

Our child loves to read about a Baha'i family that does the same things we do. You must have the books published so every Baha'i children can grow up with Fellowship Farm. We are just finishing the fourth book and on Thursday we will read the fifth. We read them as part of home schooling. Again thank you from our hearts.

We were so excited to receive a copy of book 10 (Naw Ruz) that my daughter and mother read it straight away while I was at work! They really loved it and were inspired all over again, and can't wait for Naw-Ruz to try out some new ideas. Mum wishes she was well versed enough to use the virtues language used in the books, and is working on improving all the time. This book has put her back on track. So the main verdict seems to be "FANTASTIC, WONDERFUL, INSPIRATIONAL". Thanks for inspiring my family to be more positive and enthusiastic, I can't wait to read it myself.
