THE CAREFREE TUMBLEWEED is a delightful children’s book of superb quality. Author Kim Pollock McGrath weaves her love of nature and talent for writing jingles into a delightful, interactive tale about a tumbleweed rolling across the countryside looking for a friend in her book The Carefree Tumbleweed.

In The Carefree Tumbleweed, McGrath brings her story to life using playful rhymes coupled with a rhythmic chorus that encourages kids to sing along.

When readers meet Little Tumbleweed, he is so excited to start his journey. He doesn’t care who he meets or what he sees, as long as he’s rollin’ free with the breeze. He meets different animals in different habitats — and they don’t want anything to do with him. So he keeps rollin’, rollin’, rollin until he meets that one special friend.

With colorful illustrations by Kailyn Palmer, The Carefree Tumbleweed is ideal for children ages 3-10 and will keep young minds entertained as they learn about Little Tumbleweed’s adventure from beginning to end with his new, happy, carefree friend!
