Woody's World of Adventure

Reach for this book when your child is facing a season of waiting, feeling overlooked, or struggling to maintain hope during a difficult transition. Through the eyes of Woody, a shelter dog longing for a forever home, children learn that being 'passed over' does not mean they are unwanted. It is a gentle tool for discussing big changes like adoption, foster care, or moving to a new neighborhood. While the story centers on a dog's journey, the emotional core resonates with any child who has felt lonely or impatient for a miracle. Shelley Frey uses Woody's perspective to model resilience and the importance of supportive friendships. Ideal for children ages 3 to 8, this book provides a safe space to talk about faith, patience, and the joy that comes when a long-held dream finally comes true. It is particularly comforting for families navigating the process of welcoming a new pet or a new family member.
