Bookroo's summary

Raisin, the smallest cow in the herd, loves her life until a new baby brother arrives, stealing her spotlight. As everything seems to go wrong, Raisin struggles with change. But when she discovers something new within herself, it might just bring joy to the entire herd, including her new sibling. Can Raisin embrace the unexpected and find her place again?

From the publisher

An irresistible sibling story about Raisin, the littlest cow on the farm, and what happens when she gets a little brother–from the author and illustrator of Lion, Lion. Perfect for fans of Hug Machine and You Are (Not) Small. Raisin loves being the littlest cow in the herd. All the other cows dote on her, and life is grand.But one day, Raisin’s mother has a new little cow . . . one who is even smaller than Raisin. And suddenly everything changes. Raisin has never liked change, and this one is the worst. Now no one pays attention to her, the new baby smells funny, and even the weather won’t cooperate.But then, when absolutely everything is going wrong, Raisin discovers a change in herself–one that delights the entire herd. Even (and especially!) the new baby.
