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!

Veronica's Very Important Scratch
Veronica has a problem.
A very important problem.
She has an itch she just can’t reach.
While the other animals rub, rush, and give up, Veronica does something different — she stops to think. When she discovers an old broom with two very different ends, Veronica realises that the answer to her problem might already be right in front of her.
What begins as a simple scratch soon becomes a clever discovery that helps more than just Veronica.
A gentle, funny story about curiosity, problem-solving, and the power of noticing what others miss.

Veronica and The Very Noisy Bell
When the animals need help, they shout.
And shout.
And shout.
But the messages don’t always get through.
Veronica begins to wonder if there’s a better way to be heard. With a bell, a rope, and some clever timing, she discovers that clear communication can make all the difference.
A story about listening, sharing ideas, and finding your voice.

Veronica's Busy Day
Veronica loves to help. A muddy blanket? She'll scrub it. Lost acorns? She'll find them. A hat stuck in a tree? No problem.
But when every animal on the farm starts calling her name at once, Veronica discovers that even the cleverest cow can't do everything alone.
It takes her friends to remind her of something important — asking for help is just as brave as giving it.
A warm, reassuring story about kindness, knowing your limits, and learning that rest isn't giving up — it's how we keep going.
