Really nice to read something ‘local’
I was pregnant with my son when the earthquake happened so it's a fun story to read to him now.
Nicely written, gorgeous illustrations, the only thing missing for me is an end paper with photos and news articles of the real cows to add to the story and credibility.
During the massive 7.8M earthquake that hit New Zealand in November 2016 two
cows and a calf were stranded on a two-metre high ‘island’ when their
paddock slid and buckled 80 metres from its original position.Sensibly they
stayed put and were rescued by farmers a day or so later. This story attracted
huge media attention locally and around the world.It's an iconic story of
bravery in the face of great adversity, and of helping others and protecting
those around us. It's also emblematic of the laconic Kiwi sense of humour and
the strength of the New Zealand spirit when faced with chaos and crisis. It's a
light point in the midst of devastation.
