Two young sisters from Powys have penned and illustrated their debut book.
After more than a year of writing, drawing, and digital editing with their father, Rose and Clementine Sternbauer have published "MALI - A Cow's Story."
The book is aimed at children aged two to 12 years old, and tells the story of a Highland Cow dreaming of freedom beyond the farm in the Great Elan Valley.
The story celebrates the wildlife and landscapes of Mid Wales, focusing on friendship and freedom.

Both girls attend the Welsh stream of Rhayader Church in Wales school, and are keen readers and writers.
Rose is also a librarian at the school.
Rose said: "I'm excited that our book is out in the shops now and that people can enjoy reading it."
Clementine added: "I think if we can sell our books, we will have some printed in Welsh too."
"MALI - A Cow's Story" is now available at Verzon Books in Llandrindod Wells, at the Elan Valley Visitor Centre, and in libraries across Powys.
