About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts noticing the quirky details of the world around them or when they need a gentle push to embrace their own unconventional ideas. It is a perfect choice for a young dreamer who feels a bit out of step with their more practical peers. The story follows Richard, a boy who discovers that the cows on his farm are far more extraordinary than they appear, possessing hidden talents and a secret life that only he seems to understand. At its heart, this is a celebration of curiosity and the unique bond between a child and the natural world. It encourages children to look past the surface of everyday life to find the magic hidden within. The vocabulary is rich but accessible for the 7 to 10 age range, making it an excellent bridge for those transitioning into more descriptive chapter books. It provides a comforting, humorous space for children to explore the idea that being observant and imaginative is a special kind of strength.
