Oma Finds a Miracle

Back in September, we wrote about a book entitled Opa and Oma Together. Today we have another story about Opa and Oma. In this instance, the setting is a snowy day in early winter. Oma tells her grandchildren the story of how she rescued a newborn white calf that was born and lost in a snowstorm. Based on real events, it nicely portrays the determination of human and animal mothers. Appropriately, the calf is given the name "Miracle". Written and illustrated by Patrick Mader and Andrew Holmquist, this is another realistic portrayal of life on a Minnesota farm.
