Description
This heartwarming true story celebrates Rosie, an iconic Border Collie, and her remarkable life on New Zealand's Canterbury Plains. After ten loyal years spent herding sheep, Rosie retires to the quiet town of Springfield, where she discovers a new calling.
Twice a day, she meets the TranzAlpine Express, delighting passengers and rounding up tourists. In return, she is given a delicious meat pie. Over ten years, Rosie is estimated to have eaten more than 7,000 pies!
Brought to life with warm, expressive illustrations, 7,000 Pies for Rosie is a delightful tale of purpose, community, and the culture and spirit of New Zealand.

About the Author
Cathy Hope's carefree childhood in New Zealand included adventures on family farms, exploring riverbeds and beaches, fishing, making cubbies, and climbing trees. Her admiration for New Zealand's landscape, flora, fauna, and culture influences her writing. Cathy, a primary school teacher, has over thirty books published for children and educators. She lives with her family beside the sea at Frankston in Victoria, Australia, and often makes trips back to New Zealand.
