The Littlest Yak
Lu Fraser, ill. Kate Hindley

Age 3-5
Gertie lives on top of a mountain with her herd of yaks, where she is very good at gripping onto the steep mountain sides. However, Gertie isn’t happy, she is the littlest yak in her herd and just can’t wait to be big.
One day Gertie finds her ‘smallness’ comes in useful when she is asked to rescue an even teenier yak stuck on a narrow ledge. Gertie bravely saves the day and finds out that you can have ‘bigness’ inside even if you are small on the outside.
An appealing, rhyming story with delightful illustrations about not being in too much of a hurry to grow up that shows that sometimes being small can have its advantages.
