Willa and Woof: Birthday Business is book two in
the Willa and Woof series. In it we meet Willa, a determined and independent
young girl along with her best four-legged friend, Woof, an albino wolf hound. Together
they take readers through a fun and heart-warming tale of friendship, family,
and community.
Willa along with Woof and her best same-age
friend (Tae), discover it’s her neighbour’s birthday, her best old-age friend
Frank. Frank is having a ‘BIG’ birthday and despite him not wanting any fuss, Willa
decides he simply must have the best surprise party ever because ‘Everyone
loves parties,’ right?
But planning runs into hurdles and Willa
loses her most secret diary. She panics but when her friends and neighbourhood
galvanise behind her, everything comes together.
Readers will also be delighted with the
charming black and white illustrations by A. Yi that are sprinkled throughout
its pages.
This series is recommended for early
junior fiction readers aged from 6 to 8 years. Book one Mimi is Missing
is currently out now and book three, Grandparents for Hire is expected
in January 2023.
