I am Willow, welcome to the woods!
This place will change your whole childhood.
The woods are not just woods, you’ll see.
The woods set your imagination free.
Zooming helicopters! Mud monsters! Magical spiders!
Join Willow in the woods to see how her wild adventures unfold.
Kirsty Howarth lives in a small village in North-West Leicestershire with her family, Chris (Partner), Ethan (son) and Poppy (daughter). Her love of the outdoors and her young children have inspired the story of Willow’s Wood.
Growing up in an old mining town in the midlands that backed onto, wasteland, woods, fields, and meadows; Kirsty has fond memories of adventure filled days with her siblings and friends.
Every day was an adventure and full of imagination and is something she wishes and hopes for, not only her own children, but for every child growing up.
connecting us parents with our own childhood memories and our inner child (who didn't go exploring in the woods in the last century?!). My girls (4 and 6) both like the book and they can definitely relate to Willow's experience, as they went to a forest school pre-school and love the outdoors. I think it would make children who haven't got a strong connection with nature curious, wanting to explore. I think it's an affirming story for neurodivergent, highly sensitive and / or introverted children, who like playing on their own or observe the world around them. Willow is quite content on her own in this story... she's not alone, because she's part of the environment... she's free. She's also full of fun ideas and very creative. This book acknowledges and celebrates these traits beautifully.
My daughter loved the book it’s beautifully written and the illustrations are amazing! Definitely can’t wait for more books as it’s a new favourite for bedtime!
Great children’s book!
A new favorite for my children who love the outdoors. My children are always playing in the woods and love nature, they had fun relating to Willow's adventures.
This book is beautifully written with vibrant illustrations, we can’t wait for more.
