Discover Willow the Wonderer - A contemporary classic
Willow the Wonderer are more than just picture books - They are a treasure trove of life lessons wrapped in delightful stories that educate and entertain in equal measure. Willow is an endearing little donkey who is deeply curious about life. Join him on epic quests as he unravels life's mysteries and discover its wonders. Written in rhyme with exquisite illustrations, they sweep young readers away on fantastical adventures through the natural world. Each captivating tale is also designed with a specific early learning goal in mind.
 
Synopsis Book 1 : Willow the Wonderer
Willow the Wonderer wakes up one morning wondering about happiness and where does it lay. He visits many wonderous places and discovers many marvellous creatures but the happiness he was looking for eludes him. As he reflects on his day he has an epiphany - and finally understands where happiness comes from.
​
​The early learning goal in this book is counting, although it feels more like playing a game of 'hide and seek' as the creatures to be counted are hidden away in the landscape!
 
Synopsis Book 2 : Willow the Wonderer - Honey Time
​Willow the Wonderer wakes up bursting with infinite ideas for adventure and play. He wonders how he can fit it all in and decides to go ‘hard and fast’, creating an almighty ruckus! The Queen Bee stages an intervention to teach our young hero a brand new lesson; one that opens up his eyes to the wonders of the natural world and gives him greater insight into happiness.
 
​The early learning goal in this book is learning the many natural and creative expressions of colour. These are poetically depicted in the rhymes and exquisitely brought to life in the illustrations.
 
Synopsis Book 3 : Willow the Wonderer - Space Odyssey
Willow the Wonderer feels alone one day and wonders why he is different from others everywhere. He sets off to search for other creatures like him but alas, only sees things that are different some way. As he is about to give up, he gets beamed up into space! Willow travels through space and time taking in the beauty, strength and fragility of the Earth. As he looks back at the Earth, a profound wisdom dawns upon him - the same wisdom that has dawned upon many astronauts before him. Willow finally realises that which makes us all the same and also connected to each other. It even makes him feel at peace with being a little different.
 
​The early learning goal in this book is to introduce the fantastic science of astronomy to our young readers.
 
Synopsis Book 4 : Willow the Wonderer - The Gift (New Release!)
Willow the Wonderer finds himself lost in the high mountains one day. As the mist clears, a mysterious fox appears and offers to be his guide for as long as he needs her. Willow and Fox encounter steep mountain trails, windy passes and frightening cliffs. As fear and dread take hold of Willow, Fox shares the gift of her wisdom – the certainty that in the end all things will pass. But will that knowledge be enough for our little hero to overcome the challenges he faces? The Gift offers a valuable lesson in resilience - the need to keep going even when the going gets hard, assured in the wisdom that all things comes to pass.
​The early learning goal in this book is to introduce young readers through the rich poetic language to similes and metaphors.

A note from the author and illustrator:
"Willow the Wonderer started as a shared dream to create stories that plant seeds of wisdom in young minds; seeds that hopefully blossom with time and guide our young readers in their journey through life. We also wanted the books to make early childhood learning effortless. But mostly we wanted to create beautiful stories that the little ones (and big ones) simply fall in love with. These are stories we wish we'd grown up with."
 
- Reeta and Darren
