In this first book of the series, Jasper, a prickly and self-centered cat, arrives at Forever Friends Farm but his unhelpful antics quickly cause trouble.  When his behavior threatens to ruin a special celebration for P.J. the goose – the youngest member of the group – Jasper expects to be cast out.  Instead, he’s met with something surprising:  kindness.  As he watches his new farmyard friends embrace empathy, teamwork, and second chances, Jasper begins to realize that true belonging comes from being kind and open to others.

Written by New York Times bestselling author Annie Auerbach with charming illustrations by beloved illustrator Luke Flowers, the book blends social-emotional learning themes with engaging storytelling and laugh-out-loud moments.  It’s perfect for teaching kids about kindness, inclusion and the power of friendship.
