There are moments in life that stop you in your tracks.
For Jaz — the author and heart behind Veronica’s World — one of those moments happened when a cardboard packet arrived at the door. Inside it, wrapped carefully, was the very first printed copy of Veronica’s Very Important Scratch.
Watch what happened next.
Writing a story is one thing. Imagining it as a real book that children will hold, read, and love — that’s another thing entirely. But the moment you actually hold it? That’s something words can’t quite capture.
Veronica’s Very Important Scratch is the story of a curious little cow who notices something strange on her side and sets off to find out what it means — asking questions, making friends, and discovering that the best adventures start with a single curious thought.
It’s available now on Amazon — and if your little one loves curious characters, big questions, and stories that make them think, this one’s for them.
