The Wispy Woodle Tales

Reach for this book when your child is facing a major transition, feeling like an outsider, or struggling to find their place in a new social circle. Jeanne Bewley creates a safe, whimsical space where the 'mischievous cast away' Wispy Woodle looks after a group of children and creatures who have drifted from difficult homelands to find a new life. It is an ideal choice for children who need to see that being different or 'starting over' can lead to a beautiful, supportive community. Through the adventures in the Land Of Over There, the story explores deep emotional themes of acceptance, bravery, and the shared responsibility of friendship. Written for the 7 to 11 age range, it offers a gentle, metaphorical approach to processing change while emphasizing that every 'silly thing' and child has inherent value regardless of where they came from.
