About the Book
Nattie’s mouth was a little crooked. Her legs were a bit shorter
than usual, and one horn was too straight, like a unicorn’s horn. But
Mia thought Nattie was perfect. In a read-aloud picture book for
children who love animals, award-winning writer and sheep breeder
Marlene M. Bell presents Nattie the lamb’s true story. MIA AND NATTIE is
a heartwarming book that teaches readers about problem-solving,
teamwork, and love. On a visit to her grandma’s farm, eight-year-old Mia
discovers a newborn, orphaned lamb outside in the cold and takes her to
the laundry room, naming her Nattie. As she tries to nurse the lamb
back to health, Mia discovers that Nattie is different from the other
lambs and struggles to fit in with them like Mia does with other kids
her age. When her grandmother says she will sell Nattie to a neighbor,
Mia must come up with a plan to keep her friend around—one that will
show the family just how special Nattie truly is.
True Story with a Relatable Message for Families. It is not easy being little--and feeling that everyone has roles to play and something to offer the family except maybe the littlest one. This book takes children into the life of a little girl and an orphaned, runt lamb--and follows them as they follow their hearts and find their places and roles on the farm. The true story about Natalie the lamb offers children a cute, relatable tale with some real-world messages about empathy and differences and offering unique talents and skills.
Mia and Nattie: One Great Team is a Heartwarming Story for Families. The book is intended for little ones--but will bring smiles and tug at older children and parents' heartstrings. Mia and Nattie: One Great Team is a great story, with simple illustrations and easy-to-read pages that remind us the value of appreciating everyone for who they are and what they have to offer the world--even if they don't fit the expected mold.
Would I Recommend Mia and Nattie: One Great Team by Marlene M. Bell? Mia and Nattie: One Great Team is an adorable children's book that reminds us all that, no matter how small, we can stand up for others and help others find their gifts.
