My Thoughts on Moving to The Peaceable

Moving to The Peaceable is a cute and sweet children’s storybook with some lovely photos of chickens and their habitat within.  we raise chickens here on our farm so there’s nothing new about them to learn in this book.  But if your children are not avid chicken raisers(my kids love doing chicken chores) there are lots of fun facts about chickens to be learned within the pages. 

We loved seeing the different chickens in the book and where they live.  Our chickens don’t have quite the same level of accommodations though so we’ll have to make sure they don’t see the photos in the book!

This is a sweet story.  I will say that when reading to a younger child I skip over some of the writing and just pick out the highlights.  Mostly because her attention span isn’t there for all of the words per picture ratio.  But the older kids (geared towards ages 3-8 and my youngest is 2) really enjoy having me read the whole thing to them.  

As an avid reader, I have read all of this wonderful author’s books and am enjoying seeing her come out with some children’s books as well.  Let me know what you think of the book!

About the Author of Moving to The Peaceable

Award-winning, Christian author Caryl McAdoo prays her story brings God glory. Of her best-selling novels, readers love her historical Christian romance family sagas most, but also enjoy their contemporary cousins, Caryl’s Biblical fiction, her new historical mystery series, and tales for young adults and mid-grade booklovers. The majority of reviewers award her stories five stars and praise Caryl’s writing style and the depth of her characters, feeling as though they get to know them well.

The prolific writer loves singing the new songs God gives her almost as much as penning new novels—hear a few at YouTube! She’s been married to Ron for fifty-four years, and they share four children and twenty-four grandsugars. The McAdoos live in the woods south of Clarksville, the seat of Red River County in far Northeast Texas, waiting expectantly for God to open the next door.

More from Caryl

This is the story of how I became a Chicken Lady from start but not the finish! I have two more “chicken”! books planned based all on the true story! Before we had “backyard birds”—except mine are also front and side yard!—I called our back in the woods twenty acres in Red River County The Peaceable. After the chickens, I added “Farm & Bookery”.

My husband of fifty-five years Ron and I now incubate purebred chicks and raise them to laying age—usually four to five months—then sell them. We both love being around our flock, and the supplemental income is nice as well. They grow so fast; watching them is both so much fun and also relaxing!

I know each hen and rooster by name, and they all are so affectionate! They come running whenever I head out the door (mostly because they want to see if I brought any food! 😊) I love thinking about what they are saying to each other with all their clucking and purring and cackling!

This is why the books are partially written from the hens’ point of view as our first animals’ series, The River Bottom Ranch Stories featuring horses and goats and dogs among other wild animal characters. And all those farm animals were real ones that we owned and loved, too—like the chickens!

This series ‘Grami’s Stories for Children’ also has a narrator’s story throughout, and that’s me, Grami McAdoo! I talk to the children through a few pages full of dialogue to teach them about poultry and things of God. In MOVING to the Peaceable, I talk about changes and how they can be scary, but God is always with us wherever we go.

The illustrations are photographs of our real chickens and The Peaceable Farm & Bookery. In the back of the book, there are a few pages of “Chicken Terminology” and fun “Chicken Facts” to teach the little ones more about the wonderful world of chickens!

I pray they will love the story and be blessed by it! 😊
