About this book
Gertie is a yak of a smaller stature with a huge personality. Feisty and brave, she is more than prepared for her herd’s move to pastures new. Once Gertie has packed every single thing she owns on to her sledge, including a telescope, a hat, a skipping rope AND skis, she’s ready to embark on an epic journey with her family to their new home. She only has one thing to do and that is to look after baby yak Dot. What could possibly go wrong?
This delightful rhyming story, with beautiful characterful illustrations, explores themes of family, relocation, bravery and adventure in a touching and humorous way. A real delight to read aloud with a heart-warming positive message.
