Gypsy Day (1 June) is a special time for the farming world. Many dairy farms change ownership; families move to their new farms, often taking their herds of cows with them. The story, told in rhyme, is from a young boy’s point of view, and follows a share-milkier family moving south with their cows. He worries about losing friends and going to a new school but things turn out better than he’d expected. Illustrations give a vivid depiction of farm life. Age four to eight.
