Book Synopsis

Perfect for fans o f Rachel Bright and Julia Donaldson, The Littlest Yak is a joyous, rhyming caper that teaches little ones to celebrate their own unique talents!

On the tip of the top of a mountain all snowy, where the ice-swirling, toe-curling blizzards were blowy, in a herd full of huddling yaks, big and small, lived Gertie . . . the littlest yak of them all.

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?

A rollicking, heartwarming and reassuring story from debut author, Lu Fraser and much-loved illustrator, Kate Hindley.

Our Review Panel says...

We love Lu Fraser & Kate Hindley’s characters in our house, and none so much as Gertie; the smallest yak in her herd who longs to be bigger. Through a heartwarming –  and once trepidatious – journey, she discovers that her size doesn’t define who she is. This tale encourages children to embrace their unique qualities and see the true value in who they are. And better still, it’s part of a series!
