'Being Beans' is the first storybook of the 'Animals of Idlewild' series: heart-warming tales of courage, resilience and inclusion, starring Idlewild Animal Sanctuary residents past and present.
Our stories are designed to be enjoyed by readers and listeners of all ages:
Read aloud as a bedtime story, enjoying the interactive elements
Discover 'Factoids' to feed older readers' curiosity and learning
Use 'Conversation Starters' to get the whole family talking about topics such as bullying, disability and loss.
The Idlewild stories encourage kindness, empathy, friendship, teamwork and hope.
In 'Being Beans' we find out how Beans went from being a lonely lamb to one of the most popular Sanctuary residents.
All proceeds from the sale of 'Being Beans' will go to the 'Save Our Sanctuary' campaign.
For largely environmental reasons, we only offer e-books (pdf), and would encourage you to read it from your tablet or other device, or print at home if preferred.
