Our Mission

At Colin the Cow, we aim to inspire kids and adults to read together and then to head outside for adventure! Reading and exploring nature? That’s a win for both your body and mind.

Gareth & Ben


The Birth of Colin the Cow

One day, on the family farm in Dedham Vale, Gareth saw his niece having a blast with the cows. A lightbulb went off: "Why not create a loveable cow that kids can go on adventures with?" And just like that, Colin the Cow was born—a fun-filled, modern-day cow ready to inspire young readers!


The Dynamic Duo: Gareth and Ben

Gareth teamed up with his old school buddy, Ben Somers—a creative genius whose artistic work with music icons like Goldie earned him whispers of being Banksy! Ben’s bold, quirky illustrations make Colin the Cow leap off the page, taking kids on colourful adventures like no other.


Books That Keep Kids Reading

Gareth and Ben created these stories to captivate both kids and parents from start to finish. Their goal? To spark a love of reading and exploring the outdoors—two adventures every child deserves.


Cool Colin Merch

Love cool merchandise? So does Gareth! With the Colin the Cow range, you can enjoy your tea from a fun Colin mug or show off your style with a Colin t-shirt—spreading the fun wherever you go!

Get Outside!

Whether it’s climbing Everest or strolling through the park, Gareth and Ben believe in the power of the great outdoors. Nature isn’t just fun—it’s good for you, too!


What’s Next?

Living in the stunning Dedham Vale, Gareth and Ben want kids everywhere to join them on adventures with Colin the Cow, no matter where they live. Time to explore!
