About the Book

Set in the Austrian Alps, Veronica’s Busy Day follows Veronica, a Swiss Brown cow who loves nothing more than helping the animals she cares about.

When Pip the piglet’s blanket falls in the mud, she helps. When Millie the mouse loses her acorns, she helps. When Otto the horse can’t find his hat, she helps. But then everyone needs help — all at the same time.

Veronica runs and rushes and hurries until her head starts to spin. She forgets to eat. She forgets to rest. And then… things go tumbling everywhere.

Sometimes even the cleverest cow needs to stop.

Did you know?



Veronica’s story began in the real world!
In Austria, high in the mountains, scientists once met a very clever cow who surprised everyone. This cow used tools — like sticks and brooms — to scratch herself in smart ways.
She even used different ends of the same broom for different kinds of scratches! The scientists were amazed.
They realised that cows might be much smarter than people had thought. Veronica in this book is a make-believe character, but her curiosity and clever thinking were inspired by that real cow.
Sometimes, the most amazing ideas come from simply noticing what’s around you. So next time you have a problem, look around.
You might already have just the thing you need!

Loved the illustrations, so graphic

February 16, 2026

I had the kids sitting behind as I read it because they wanted to see the images while I was reading.

Luckily the Paperback version is such a great size because the children could easily see all the pictures.
