La vaca Tomasa - Tomasa the Cow, Del Sol BooksThis whimsical bilingual children’s picture book celebrating individuality and curiosity is now available in paperback for the first time.

What is it that makes Tomasa stand out from the herd? Is it her friendship with Caesar the Bird? Is it her one horn, which makes Tomasa look different from all the other cows? Or is it deeper than that - in the dreams that drive her to escape the dairy farm and roam, "happy and confused," in search of her rightful place in the world?

Vienna RoseListen to Vienna Rose read Tomasa the Cow to you.  A marvelous example of the magical encounter between a child and books that we wish for all children.

“Tomasa was a cow with an unusual destiny.” So begins this story about a singular cow with only one horn-and an extraordinary tale! But what is it that makes Tomasa the Cow stand out from the herd? Is it her friendship with Caesar the Bird? Is it her one horn, which makes her look different from all the other cows? Or is it deeper than that-in the dreams that drive her to escape the dairy farm and roam, “happy and confused,” in search of her rightful place in the world? The curious, whimsical paintings of Pietrapiana will bewilder tedious adults and enchant children everywhere.
