Meet Moira Coo, a highland cow with BIG dreams!

Moira lives in a field behind a fence, just like the other cows. She eats grass, just like the other cows. But Moira is no ordinary cow - she's a cow who dares to dream!

One day she's a zooming race car driver, the next she's a graceful dancer... that is until all the other cows start to scoff and sneer, and Moira Coo is just a cow once more. But can one wee voice of encouragement ring loud enough for Moira to finally find her wings and soar?

A funny, empowering picture book written by Alastair Chisholm, winner of Blackwell's Children's Book of the Year, The Queen's Knickers Award and Scottish Book Trust's Bookbug Prize. Hilariously illustrated by Craig Shuttlewood.
