Little Tom Lonetta Pitcher

Meet Little Tom, a young turkey who lives on a farm. He is smaller than the other turkeys and just plain brown. On the farm are some pigs, goats, cows, sheep, and, of course, chickens! This wasn't an ordinary farm where all the animals were kept in their own separate pens. On this farm they all lived in the barn together, and the young animals would play together.

One day, when Little Tom was being picked on by the others, he questioned why God would make him plain brown and boring. He even asks Farmer Chad, hoping that he would understand him! To Little Tom's surprise it seems like he does, and he tells him that God has a plan for him. He can't imagine what that could be but thinks about it whenever he would feel sad and lonely. Little does he know that one day soon he is going to find out just what the plan is.

Tom wakes up one morning and realizes that he is no longer plain and just had to trust that God has a purpose for him after all and learns a valuable lesson that even the smallest of us can be used in a mighty way!
