Gertie is great at being the littlest

yak, with the whirliest wool and

grippiest hooves of the pack! Only,

Gertie doesn’t want to be the

littlest. She’s in a hurry to grow

up—with the hugest of hooves and

humongous horns, too, there isn’t a

thing a big yak can’t do! So Gertie

devises a growing-up plan. She eats

her veggies, exercises every day,

and reads lots of books. Still, she

isn’t any bigger. But when the other

yaks ask for Gertie’s help, it turns

out there are some things that only

Gertie can do.

From debut author Lu Fraser comes

a rollicking, heartwarming, and

reassuring story about learning to

be happy just the way you are.

On the tip of the top of a mountain all snowy,

where the ice-swirling, toe-curling blizzards were blowy,

in a herd full of huddling yaks, big and small,

lived Gertie . . .

the littlest yak of them all.

Now Gertie was GREAT at being a yak,

with the curliest, whirliest wool on her back.

She could clip-clop up cliffs,

no matter how slippy,

on little yak hooves that

were splendidly grippy.

Yes, Gertie was all that

a small yak should be.

BUT . . .

. . . “There isn’t,” she sighed, “any BIGNESS in me!

I’m the yak at the back

who is stuck in her smallness,

I want to grow UP

and have greatness and tallness!

With the hugest of hooves and

humongous horns, too,

there isn’t a thing that

a BIG yak can’t do!”
