The cow who climbed a tree: Gemma Merino

The Cow Who Climbed a Tree (Paperback)

Tina the cow thinks differently to other cows and likes to try out new things. This is a great tale to use when teaching children about why some people are afraid of difference. The other cows just chew grass all day but Tina wants to try something different. The story encourages independent thinking and also assertiveness as Tina encourages the other cows to be brave and follow their hearts.
It has a great ending as the other cows realise it's OK to listen to new ideas and feel unafraid. 
I am using this book to encourage children to question and think creatively.
