Wilhelmina Goes Wandering is based on the true story of a runaway cow in Connecticut. For five months in 2011, the 800-pound Black Angus was seen around Milford, Orange, and New Haven, hanging out and traveling with a herd of deer. When she is eventually captured and relocated to an animal sanctuary in Oxford, Wilhelmina finds that her urge for adventures has been tamed by knowing she is finally accepted and loved by her new farmer friend Betty. Along the way, our bovine heroine learns about accepting the things about herself that are different from the deer一and that sometimes we have to leave our familiar pasture to find our true home. Five- to nine-year-old readers (grownups, too!) will fall in love with Wilhelmina and her animal and human friends, brought to colorful life in Katie Runde's lovingly rendered watercolor illustrations.

Review quote

"这本书非同寻常。" "我很惊讶这是他的第一本儿童文学作品。因为,他有恰当的表达方式,而且他

不害怕将各种主题注入其中,虽然有些人可能会说这些主题并不属于"儿童主

题"。他谈到融入群体和获得自由,还有薇乐迷娜有时候不晓得自己是谁,不了

解自己。这一切确实会引起儿童的共鸣。"

"The book is extraordinary."

"It's amazing to me that this is his first children's book because he has the right voice, and he's not afraid to put themes in there that might be more than what some would say would be 'children's themes.' He talked about fitting in and becoming free, and at times not knowing who the cow was, who Wilhelmina was; she didn't understand herself. And those just resonate with children."
