About
Milly Cow Gives Milk Synopsis
First paperback edition in this topical non-fiction collection about sustainability, now expanded to include new material.
A child follows a day in the life of Milly the cow, as she munches grass with her friends, drinks gallons of water, makes cow pats in the field, and visits the milking parlour with her farmer. Milly's milk is made into butter, cheese and yoghurt.
This series encourages children to be environmentally aware by understanding where their food comes from. Each book is full of information that has been fact checked, yet presented in a simple and stylish way to spark the interest of both young children and adults.
There is a simple quiz and fun facts at the end to explain more about dairy farming and produce, and this new edition includes a gallery of cow breeds, and a simple recipe using milk.

Q & A with the Author about her book The Perfect Rebel
What made you want to write this book?
Emily Davison, because she was an amazing woman who did everything she could to help give women more rights. Today, Emily’s story is almost forgotten ... but not quite. I wanted to write it down so more people could hear about it.
Who is your role model?
My daughter Imogen is my role model. She never lets her dyslexia stop her from trying her best, and being really cheerful about everything that she does.
Which suffragette do you most admire?
The suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst. She stood up for her beliefs, even though it didn’t make her popular with some people. She really wanted to make a difference to the world she lived in.
If you could meet Emily Davison, what would you say to her?
I would ask Emily what I should say to people who can’t be bothered to vote.
