Overview

Big feelings deserve a warm story and someone to share it with. A birthday cake starts to wobble. A carefully planned picnic disappears beneath a rain cloud. A little fox hears something rustling outside his tent. In Willowbrook, ordinary days have a way of turning into adventures, and even the smallest moment can bring a very big feeling. Join Milo the rabbit, Tessa the tortoise, Poppy the squirrel, and Finn the fox in twelve colourful stories for children ages 4-8. These curious woodland friends make mistakes, ask questions, laugh together, and discover what they can try next. Every adventure has a complete, reassuring ending, making it easy to enjoy one story at a time or return to a favourite. Milo has plenty of ideas, Tessa notices what others miss, Poppy brings enthusiasm, and Finn often finds something to smile about. Their different personalities leave space for young readers to recognise a little of themselves. Together, they discover that a good friend can listen, make room, and stay close while someone works through a difficult moment. There is space for quiet children here, too. WHAT WAITS INSIDE WILLOWBROOK - Twelve original stories about sharing, feeling left out, asking for help, making amends, and finding the courage to try. - A wobbly birthday cake, a missing sunflower, a treasure hunt, an indoor picnic, and a glowing lantern celebration. - Expressive animal characters and colourful illustrations that invite children to look closely and talk about what they notice. - Short, lively read-alouds with gentle humour, familiar challenges, and warm moments of friendship. - A conversation question after every story, plus a drawing activity, a feelings discussion page, and a reading note for grown-ups. LITTLE MOMENTS THAT CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE - Give children words for worries, frustration, disappointment, pride, and gratitude through situations they can recognise. - Explore ways to take turns, include someone, apologise thoughtfully, and respect a friend's need for space. - Encourage curiosity and persistence as the characters pause, notice what happened, and try a different approach. - Open gentle conversations at home or in the classroom without turning every feeling into a problem that needs an instant answer. - Make room for connection through shared laughter, thoughtful questions, and a few unhurried minutes together. No friend gets everything right. Poppy can feel disappointed even when a new plan turns out well. Finn can admit he is frightened and still take a brave step. Tessa can ask for a game she can join, and Milo can learn that accepting help belongs in an adventure, too. Perhaps your child has felt nervous on a first day, wanted a turn before someone else was finished, or watched a carefully built tower tumble down. Willowbrook brings those everyday experiences into stories you can enjoy together. Ask a question, share a memory, or simply turn the page and see what happens. There is no need to rush the conversation. Designed for shared reading, this 80-page collection welcomes parents, grandparents, teachers, and caregivers into a world where feelings are heard and friendships grow through small actions. Read it at bedtime, during a quiet afternoon, or whenever a child needs a story that feels close to home. Written by Clara Merrywell, Little Adventures, Big Feelings offers a welcoming place to revisit as children grow. A favourite scene can spark a new question on another reading, while the familiar friends make each return feel like coming home. There is always room on Willowbrook's bench for one more little friend. Bring Willowbrook home today and share a little adventure with the child you love.
