This book is the second book in a children's agricultural education book series by five-year-old twin sisters Rianna and Sheridan Chaney and focuses on the dairy industry.

The book highlights the twins personal experiences in the dairy industry including time with their grandfather, a retired dairy farmer; learning about what happens at a dairy farm from birth to milk production; participating in the Pee Wee division of the pretty cow contest at the county fair; joining the 4-H Cloverbuds club; and helping to make ice cream at South Mountain Creamery.

The 32-page children’s book is full of captivating and fun color photographs by professional photographer and book co-creator Kelly Hahn Johnson of Sharpsburg, Md.

The easy-to-read text geared toward preschool and elementary-aged children highlights the many aspects of the dairy industry while encouraging children to drink milk and eat dairy products. The book also includes a glossary; recipes for butter in a jar and ice cream in a bag; fun dairy facts; and a full page devoted to educational and fun dairy Web sites. The girls' first book, “Little Star... Raising Our First Calf,” was nominated for a prestigious Agricultural Education Literary Award in 2008.

"What a special book the girls have put together, explaining how as dairy farmers we take a lot of time, effort, and pride in bringing a healthy, nutritious, product to our consumers. This book will be a great resource for dairy farmers, dairy associations, and dairy princesses all across the country to bring this message to one of our number one consumers — the youth of America." — Jenni (Drinkall) Skiba, Silver Star Jerseys, North Branch, Minnesota

"This book provides a heart-warming clip of what happens on a dairy farm. Told through the eyes of a farm family, it gives young readers a glimpse of both the miracles and work that happen continuously on a dairy farm. Hats off to the little Chaney ladies for sharing their story with other children who are not fortunate enough to grow up surrounded by the marvels of agriculture and life." — Shelly Mayer, dairy farmer and mom, Slinger, Wisconsin

"This is a wonderful book that tells the farm-to-table story so beautifully. I love the photographs and the focus on the many people behind the scenes who are an important part of bringing wholesome milk to children and their families. What a delight to see Rianna and Sheridan carry on the passion of agriculture that their mom, Becky, had as a 4-H member in Frederick County! Becky, too, loved to tell the dairy story as a member of the Lewistown Mt. View 4-H Club and also as one of the Frederick County 4-H Cow Gals and Guys that I was privileged to work with in 4-H." — JoAnne Leatherman, former 4-H agent, Frederick County, Maryland
