When a curious sound echoes through the marsh near the little brown house on the hill, Doug and Gina’s peaceful Sunday turns into an unforgettable rescue mission that will capture the hearts of readers young and old. Celia the Cow, written by Lynn Domenick McKenzie, delivers a warm, deeply human tale of empathy, teamwork, and the bonds that make rural life—and childhood—so richly magical.

Now available on Amazon, this charming picture book transports children into a world where the small can be mighty, and where family isn’t just who you’re born with—it’s who shows up when a cow is in distress.

A Heroic Moo-ment That Will Stay With You

Set in the bucolic town of Browntown, Wisconsin, Celia the Cow introduces us to Doug and Gina, two siblings whose weekend playtime is interrupted by a strange, mournful sound from the marsh. What follows is an emotionally rich adventure featuring a very pregnant cow, a brave pair of farmers, a daring mud rescue, and the birth of a calf named Minnie.

With gentle suspense, vivid imagery, and illustrations that leap off the page, McKenzie captures the awe of witnessing new life and the values of care, courage, and neighborly spirit. This is a story that encourages children to listen closely, act kindly, and treasure the moments that turn ordinary days into lifelong memories.
