Synopsis
Gertie is the littlest yak in her whole herd, and she's feeling stuck in her smallness - she wants to grow UP and have bigness and tallness! But when it turns out that there are some things that only Gertie can do, might she come to see that she's perfect, just the way she is?
This heartwarming, irresistible debut picture book from author Lu Fraser, with gorgeous illustrations from highly-acclaimed illustrator Kate Hindley was the winner of the Oscar's Book Prize 2021 and of both Book of the Year and Best Picture Book at the Sainsbury's Children's Book Awards 2021. It's now available as a perfectly small board book.
