What Lives on a Farm?: A Rhythmic, CVI-Friendly Introduction to Farm Animals - Paperback

by Rachel Worden (Author)

Step onto the farm and experience animals in a way designed for how your child sees the world.

What Lives on a Farm? introduces familiar farm animals through clear, high-contrast imagery and rhythmic, predictable text, supporting visual attention, recognition, and early language development.

Each page is intentionally designed using three core principles that support children with cortical visual impairment (CVI) and other visual or developmental differences:

• High Contrast to help key elements stand out
• Reduced Complexity to minimize visual overwhelm
• Meaningful Context to place each animal in a simple, recognizable environment

Instead of busy scenes or distracting details, each animal is presented clearly and purposefully-helping children find, focus on, and understand what they are seeing.

By highlighting salient features-what makes each animal visually distinct-this book supports stronger recognition and connection across repeated viewings.

Perfect for:

• Early learners and preschoolers
• Children with CVI or low vision
• Special education classrooms
• Speech and occupational therapy settings
• Calm, focused shared reading at home

Each animal is introduced one at a time, giving children the opportunity to build recognition, confidence, and understanding-at their own pace.

Part of the Habitat Series by Little Dandelion Press, this book reflects a simple belief:

Every child deserves access to books that are designed for how they see, learn, and make meaning of the world.
