Pixies and the changing colours of sorghum

Set in the Australian Outback, this children’s story uses imaginary worker pixies to explain the changing colours of sorghum, from green to yellow and red. Its farm-life subject gives the central fantasy a connection to crops and the rhythms of country life, while inviting young children to wonder about what happens in a field. The description also places the story within the Farmer Green series, which draws on Outback life and wildlife.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children interested in farms, crops, and country life.
  • Families seeking an imaginative story connected to the Australian Outback.
  • Inquisitive preschoolers curious about how sorghum changes colour.

★★★★★★

This adorable and surprising story shares a little-known secret about the worker pixies who assist the colour changing of sorghum for young inquisitive minds.

The author, Leonie Featherstone was born and raised in the Outback of Australia. Leonie has a passion for The Outback and its wildlife, as well as inspiring children to activate their imaginations and unlock their creativity. The Farmer Green series is a combination of both!

Stewart, or Farmer Green as she calls him, is the other half of her heart and her 'rock'! Farmer Green is a Grazier and Farmer and therefore has a solid understanding of the 'sowing and reaping' principles and all the challenges that go with that, so he is very good at 'grounding' her!

Life on the land is a constant challenge requiring persistence and strength of character. In an industry where too much or too little rain at the wrong time has destroyed many a Farmer's dreams, Farmer Green has prevailed. By quietly planning, working tirelessly and adjusting according to whatever nature and other elements throw at him, he continues on his chosen course because he has a 'dream' of what he wants to achieve!
