the latest in the Dinosaur Twins series is now available to purchase! This book, like all the others in the series, is a story and colouring book so the reader can join in the story. This story recounts the feelings and activities the twins had to get ready for their very first day of school.

Once Upon a Winter's Day: storytelling lessons with a wintry theme: Creating stories is fun all year round but we can use the seasons to set a theme to build our stories on.

For this specific book I have chosen a winter theme, and I have a number of snowmen that will inspire you to create your own stories!

I hope you have fun on this adventure, and I hope you are inspired to create a great story.

Coming in 2024!

2023

We are excited that author and illustrator of Gnomes of the Round Mushroom have joined together again for a new story!

Whereas Gnomes of the Round Mushroom was an introduction to the various gnomes of the wooded realm Manny's Flight is a story inspired by one of those gnome characters (with a couple of others included).

In Manny's Flight the young gnome is inspired to dream by the wonderful stories of Cloud the Creative. But, because of his difference Manny is not encouraged to follow his dream. Despite the obstacles Manny sets out in the world in order to fly!

When Not I, Becomes I'll Try

This is such a wonderful book! It has a great message and is written beautifully in lyrical rhyme. It's exactly like the title says not I - turns into I'll try! This is the perfect book to teach kids always to try their best.

Little Red

I have read your book Little Red so many times in the last few days -- the kids are really loving it. It is quickly becoming a favorite

The Three Little Pigs

Our granddaughter Leila loves the 3 pigs book. She asks for it most nights. She finishes the rhyming sentences or tries too. Great fun!

The Empty Rocking Chair

What a beautiful book, perfect for little ones who have lost a grandparent, it's not too heavy. Highly recommend to start conversation around the loss of a loved one.

The Empty Cage

I purchased this book after my daughter's hamster passed away to try and help her through her grief. I was so pleased that this book was actually about the grief and not a story about where we think pets go after they pass. Because of this, it is a story that can appeal to people of many backgrounds.
The pictures are lovely and there are even questions to talk about with your child.
I don't think there is a hard limit on the age group this would appeal to (I cried when I first read it!).
With several examples of different people and their experience with grief outlined in the book, it shows how everyone experiences loss differently.
I am glad that this author chose to tackle this hard topic in this way. A true tool for healing after the loss of a dearly loved pet.

Kindness Kangaroo

Children understand and learn what they can relate to... and this book does just that. Through authentic and simple stories and artwork, the authors reach the hearts and minds of parents and children. This captivating and heartfelt book helps children learn ways to show kindness in their everyday encounters.

The Way I see You

I read your newest book. It's amazing Sandra. I am sure it will help young and old alike. There seems to be lots of ways to connect. I had a bit of reaction to the dad, reminded me of mine. You just never know who you will reach. You should be very proud.

Dinosaur Twins Find an Egg

What a fun book. I loved the story and the flow. The colouring aspect is great. Also being able to add to the story at the end and make it their own is such a beneficial experience for the child. Loved it!

The Empty Swing

This is a truly wonderful book, I have read it with my grandson. It brought us through the experience with the children in the story in such a lovely way. After finshing the book we just naturally fell into a discussion about loss, feelings and love.

Thank you Sandra Wilson you did it again, great job!

Your cover artist did great too ♡

Parrot Don't Repeat That

We received our book today, the boys really liked it! My oldest was especially impressed by all the kids artwork, he seemed pretty inspired (he loves to draw) and my youngest even seemed to pick up on the meaning behind the story.

Little Chicken

This is AWESOME Sandra!!!

Get them while they are young enough to learn the valuable lesson of not telling lies ♡ You did a wonderful job of teaching that the people that spread lies are just as responsible for the damage and chaos that follow.

There are a lot of adults that need this incredibly important lesson.

Messy Monkey

Messy Monkey is awesome book that allows children to see that having a physical disability or just being clumsy is ok... True friends look past these things. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I wish there had been a book like this when I was growing up. Thank you Sandra.
