Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf
The book tells the story of Ferdinand, a gentle, peace-loving bull living in Spain who would rather smell flowers than participate in bullfights. Despite his mother's worries, Ferdinand grows up to be a strong bull still with a kind heart who loves smelling flowers. However, when five men come to choose the fiercest bull for a bullfight and Ferdinand is mistakenly selected, he must find a way to stay true to himself even in the face of danger and expectations.
