An illustrated look at the real experiences of running an alpine dairy farm, from early morning to late at night. Discover mountain life with a shepherdess!

Author and illustrator Marion Brand spent a long summer tending goats and cows on a mountain farm. In comic book style, she draws on her experiences and those of another shepherdess, Flavie, to showcase all the tasks mountain herders do each day--milking, driving tractors, cutting wood, making cheese, and much more!

Up before the sun, the shepherdess is always busy: caring for the animals, working at her computer, and delivering her goods to town. Her life is full and the day is never long enough to do it all. And every day, it starts all over again!

This book demystifies mountain farm work while celebrating a hard-working woman. Marion's striking illustrations will spark the imaginations of children who love animals and the outdoors. The final pages of the book share different stories of herders around the world.
