Can Tina show her sisters that there is more to life than chewing grass?

The Cow Who Climbed a Tree introduces us to Tina, a cow with dreams as vast as the sky. Unlike her fellow cows, she believes that anything is possible. However, her sisters are sceptical, especially when Tina claims she has climbed a tree and encountered a dragon. Convinced that Tina's imaginative stories have gone too far, the sisters set off into the woods to find her. What they discover is a world full of surprises!

This picture book, crafted by rising star Gemma Merino, is as richly atmospheric as it is thoughtful and funny. Her debut picture book, The Crocodile Who Didn't Like Water, earned her numerous awards and a global following. Merino's deliciously expressive artwork in this book is created through monoprint techniques and digitally coloured, offering readers a feast for the eyes and the imagination.
