Willow Finds Her Wag!

By James Mullinger and River Mullinger | Illustrated by Doug Graham

A beautiful new children's picture book from [EDIT] magazine co-founder and Editor-in-Chief James Mullinger and his son River Mullinger, featuring spectacular illustrations by acclaimed New Brunswick artist Doug Graham.

Synopsis

Willow is curious about everything in her new home. Her cozy bed. Her shiny bowl. Her warm, loving family. But when it comes to other dogs, Willow isn't so sure. They are loud. They are bouncy. They seem to know exactly what they're doing. But Willow? Willow would much rather pretend she has very important seaweed business than say hello.

Set against the windswept beauty of Atlantic Canada's coastline, Willow Finds Her Wag! is a tender, funny and deeply relatable story about shyness, courage and connection. Through playful, rhythmic storytelling and gentle humour, readers follow Willow as she watches other dogs from a distance, unsure how to join in.

Everything changes one breezy afternoon at the beach when Willow hears a small, frightened whimper. A tiny terrier is tangled in seaweed and unable to move. Without thinking, Willow overcomes her fear and rushes to help. In that moment of bravery, she discovers something unexpected: not just her courage, but her place among others. As the other dogs gather, Willow learns that friendship simply takes one small, brave step.

Written by father-and-son duo James and River Mullinger and inspired by their real-life family dog, this beautifully illustrated picture book blends warmth, humour and emotional honesty. Willow Finds Her Wag! speaks to anyone who has ever felt shy, unsure or on the outside looking in. It is a story about finding your confidence, discovering your voice and realizing that sometimes the best way to make a friend is to be one first.

For James, whose bestselling autobiography Brit Happens: Living the Canadian Dream won the New Brunswick Book Award for Non-Fiction, this is his first children's book. For River, it marks an exciting literary debut and the realization of a dream shared by father and son, whose love of reading together inspired them to create a story of their own.

Brought to life by Doug Graham's magnificent, colourful illustrations, Willow Finds Her Wag! is a joyful celebration of kindness, courage, family and friendship. Published by Pottersfield Press and distributed by Nimbus Publishing, it makes a wonderful gift for young readers and a beautiful addition to any family's bookshelf.

Because sometimes, the best way to find your wag is to help someone else find theirs.
