What is milk?

Milk is what cows give us when they're happy and healthy, kind of like how you might give a hug to someone you love.

Cows are big, friendly animals that live on farms, and milk comes from their udders, which are like special bags under their bellies. When a cow is ready, farmers help them by gently squeezing those bags, and poof, out comes the milk!

Milk is usually white, but sometimes it can look a little yellow if the cows eat lots of grass or hay. It's a bit like water, but thicker, kind of like how juice feels compared to water.

When you drink milk, it gives your body energy and helps you grow strong, just like how cookies give you energy after school.

Milk can be turned into many things:

• Cheese is like milk that's been squeezed and stretched, kind of like playdough.
• Yogurt is milk that has tiny happy bacteria living in it, which make it a little sour and soft.

So next time you see a glass of milk, imagine it’s a hug from a cow, friendly, healthy, and always ready to help you grow! Milk is what cows give us when they're happy and healthy, kind of like how you might give a hug to someone you love.
