Welcome to Wobbly-Gate Farm! 🚜
A playful story with a gentle, empowering message for little ones.
The Story of Moo the Cow
Moo lives at Wobbly-Gate Farm. She is a lovely cow, but she has a tiny little problem: she's never quite sure what she wants to do.
When the dark rain clouds start gathering and the rest of the cows lie down in the grass, Moo stands frozen at the crossroads. Lie down? Stay standing? Wobble? She's not sure. She's never sure!
But then, she meets an unexpected friend: a small, cheerful pink pig wearing a bright blue hat. He shares a secret that changes everything for Moo, teaching her that she doesn't have to do what everyone else is doing!

Moo the Cow
Our black-and-white heroine! With big chocolate-button brown eyes, horn tips, and pink inner ears, Moo gets wobbly when making decisions. She's about to find her own way!
Piggy in the Blue Hat
A kind, small pink pig with brown spot markings, who always wears a floppy blue bucket hat. Piggy is Moo's wise confidant who loves marching to his own beat.
The Ducks in Wellies
A quiet, charming recurring motif in the book! Keep your eyes peeled for one white duck wearing yellow wellington boots, and one cream duck wearing red wellies.
Meet the Author: Andrew! 🌳
Hello! I'm Andrew Livesey. I was born in the beautiful countryside of northern England and now make my home amidst the breathtaking mountains of Switzerland.
The Moo That Couldn't Make Her Mind Up is my very first picture book! I wrote this story out of deep admiration for the wonderful people in my life who have chosen to forge their own paths, rather than simply following the herd.
