Flemme à la ferme, by Vassia Chavaroche and Émilie Harel

Everyone has wanted to be sick at some point so they can stay home and be pampered. So why shouldn’t horses, pigs, chickens, cows—in short, ALL farm animals—be entitled to the same?

There is consternation on the farm: Giddy-Up, the spirited horse, who was ready for a gallop through the woods, has fallen ill. The children quickly load him into a wheelbarrow to get him back on his feet. Patrick the pig, old hen Claudie, Jack the rabbit and Macha the cow can’t believe their eyes: Giddy-Up is entering the forbidden house! Between hot chocolate, kisses and rest under the duvet, Giddy-Up is being pampered.

Farmyard Faffing is a retelling of The Wonderfull Farm and The Orange Cow set in 2026, featuring cartoons and bubble baths. A hilarious picture book in which the cosy comfort of home ultimately struggles to compete with the irresistible call of the mud, whether you’re a pig or a child…
