Miracles abound in life. Come join Oma for a cozy story, as she tells her grandchildren about rescuing a calf born and lost in a snowstorm. Oma is alone on the farm and worried about the calf, which may not live if not found in time. With resourcefulness and perseverance, can she achieve a farmland miracle?

Children will be drawn into this story, along with Oma’s grandchildren as concern for the calf ’s survival mounts. Based on actual events from the author’s upbringing on a Midwestern farm, the book focuses on the value of determination and the spirit of both human and animal mothers.
