One day, a yellow truck visits the Doodles' farm. Mr. Beans is adopted and brought to the Ray of Light Farm. He is given a wonderful new home, but there are no cows. How can he do his job if there are no cows? As Mr. Beans begins his new life, he meets new friends, and adjusts to his new home.

Mr. Beans has given us many moments of peace. His journey reminds us to share our love and individual strengths with all those around us. Art has taught me to celebrate everyone's differences, be myself and always see color within my world. I hope you enjoy the colors and feel the warmth from the animals. Remember to find those moments of peace and be yourself. You just never know where it will lead you."
