In this heartwarming story, Bonnie, a young child, is thrilled to be moving to a farm. Filled with excitement and wonder, she explores her new surroundings. She soon realizes that, although a farm can be great fun, it also involves some danger and a lot of hard work. More than anything, she wants to become "Daddy's little farm girl," but finds she has much to learn. With Mommy and Daddy's help, a few mishaps, and some humorous experiences, she accomplishes her goal. In the process, she begins to learn about God, including some timely lessons on patience.
Little Farm Down the Lane shows, from a little girl's perspective, what growing up on a farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, was like in the late 1940s to the early 1950s, while presenting Christian values to today's generation of children in an entertaining and uplifting format. This is the first book in a projected series of eight. As the story continues to unfold in future books, Bonnie's parents begin attending a local church and God becomes an integral part of their lives. Bonnie and her family grow in their knowledge of God through good times and bad times.

Bonnie Bedi Siegrist "Every child should have the chance to live on a farm," asserts Bonnie Siegrist. "It's magical." Siegrist herself spent her childhood on a farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
She and her husband, Ken, reside in St. Petersburg, Florida, near their two grown children and five grandchildren. They teach Christian values to children while entertaining them with puppets and skits. Siegrist often uses stories from her own childhood to make a point. When her granddaughter Melanie asked her to write down her memories after a visit to the farm where Siegrist grew up, she knew God was calling her to put her stories into print.
Before publication, her book Little Farm Down the Lane won the Florida Writers Association Inc.'s Best Unpublished Children's Book Award.
