Get in the moooood for a charming story with funny rhyming text that’s perfect for fans of Pig the Pug, Giraffes Can't Dance, and Sleepy Sheepy.

Meet Harlow!

Harlow the cow is a cute little cow, a dear highland cow who has oodles of WOW!

She can dance and sing. She knows numbers and of course, she loves to eat. She can do it all except moo! What to do!

This humorous and sweet picture book—with a fun twist—proves that what you can do matters more than what you can’t do.
