A collection of three stories of childhood in the countryside, from the
acclaimed author of Poo and the novel Home.

All three stories in this collection deal with young children at a crisis in
their lives. Maxys mum is pregnant and has been taken into hospital with
complications; Roses family life has suddenly become difficult and different
and she blames herself; and Lollys mother has died and she and her
grandparents are finding life very hard. Despite their difficulties, all three
children eventually find strength and confidence through caring for animals on
their farms.
