My Daddy is a Farmer
He is already halfway through his day when she wakes up.
She knows about the tractor and the cows. What she has never been told is why he goes out in the dark, and that the milk on her cereal came from a field she can see out of the window.
When she asks her daddy what a farmer does, he shows her: a long patient row of cows in the milking parlour, the view from up in the big red tractor, a yard where everybody has a job, and a whole farm going about its morning. Then, the next day, he pours the milk onto her cereal and tells her where it came from — and she looks at her breakfast for a long time. A warm read-aloud about turning up every day for somebody who is counting on you.
