The Story of Ferdinand

Nurturing Center Storybook: The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf

Ferdinand is the world’s most peaceful–and–beloved little bull. While all of the other bulls snort, leap, and butt their heads, Ferdinand is content to just sit and smell the flowers under his favorite cork tree. Leaf’s simple storytelling paired with Lawson’s pen-and-ink drawings make The Story of Ferdinand a true classic. Enjoy being yourself! It’s who God made you to be.
