Bookroo's summary

In Buttermilk Hollow, big business threatens to take over as farmers consider selling their land. Farmer Blue wishes for a miracle, and suddenly, dairy products appear in bizarre places, saving the town. As "For Sale" signs vanish, the community rejoices in their newfound fortune. But who is the mysterious benefactor behind this dairy magic? Discover the enchanting twist in this delightful tale of unexpected miracles and bovine wonders.

From the publisher

Buttermilk Hollow is about to become the next victim of big business. People are moving away from the sleepy town, and the farmers, with Mayor Clabber’s encouragement, are thinking about selling their land to a factory. If only the town had a fairy godmother, Farmer Blue wistfully wishes to his cow, Pixie. The next day, dairy products pop up in the most unusual spots–under pillows, out of the sky, and in the shape of elegant Swiss cheese formal wear. As the mysterious gifts continue, the “For Sale” signs disappear and the townspeople celebrate their dairy windfalls. But who is the fairy godmother? This delicious picture book celebrates the power of bovine magic with sunny illustrations and a delightful surprise ending.
