What is Blossom Comes Home about?
Farmer Dakin thinks Blossom the cow is too old to stay on the farm, so he sends her to market to make room for a younger animal. But Blossom is not ready to leave the only home she has ever known. With her remarkable sense of direction, she makes a determined journey back. When Farmer Dakin sees her again, he begins to wonder whether Blossom might still have an important place on the farm after all.
