Willow, a shadow puppet, visits her friends and travels the world making new ones. She is created by my daughter Brianna Parker's hands, age 6, along with all of her animal friends. Brianna worked incredible hard to learn how make each shadow puppet you see in the books, taking great care to make sure each one was the best she could do. Each book can be read independently or you can enjoy them as a collection. The series started with the idea to make a single book with some encouragement from family we went ahead and took the leap. Making first a paperback version of Willow Visits Her Friends and following that with the eBook version. The story is suited for early readers, kindergarten to first grade level with basic to intermediate vocabulary skills. We then decided that we would make another Willow adventure. Brianna worked just as hard on the shadow puppets that fill Willow Travels the World. The story in this one is suited more for first grade to second grade level readers with intermediate level vocabulary skills.
