This is a rhyming, children's picture book. It follows the story of Holly, a Holstein dairy cow who lives in Far North Queensland. She is bored with the daily milking routine, until 'Farmer Col' takes her to the local Show, where she discovers her face on all the dairy products. She learns the importance of her milk and is crowned Champion cow. She returns to the farm, 'to tell the herd what she had done, to explain what she'd learnt and what she had won.' So rather than follow, Holly now led the herd each day to the milking shed. She finally understood the purpose of her life and in the process, became a Holstein herd leader.

It is Grandma Helen's birthday and the family has come for a visit. Mika wants to see a baby calf born. When a calf is born, Farmer Tom shows Mika how to feed the calf. Once the calf is nice and warm, Mika asks to name the calf. Most farmer's do not name their cows, but Farmer Tom agrees to name the calf Holly.

This lively trip to the dairy farm introduces calves, heifers, and milkers.
