Meet Moira Coo, a highland cow with BIG dreams!
Moira lives in a field behind a fence, just like the other cows. She eats grass, just like the other cows. But Moira is no ordinary cow – she’s a cow who dares to dream!
One day she’s a zooming race car driver, the next she’s a graceful dancer . . . that is until all the other cows start to scoff and sneer, and Moira Coo is just a cow once more. But can one wee voice of encouragement ring loud enough for Moira to finally find her wings and soar?
