From the Forest Floor: Our Books, Our Journey, and What's Coming Next
Hello from the Woodland Wonder Tales Family! 🌿
We've been busy little woodland creatures over here, and we thought it was time to sit down, gather around the old oak tree, and share a proper update with you — our wonderful readers, parents, teachers, and fellow story-lovers.
Whether you've been with us from the very beginning or you've just stumbled into our little corner of the forest, welcome. We're so glad you're here.
📖 Book 1: Hariët the Hedgehog and Finnigan the Fox
It all started with a hedgehog and a fox who were, let's be honest, a little unlikely as friends. Hariët is careful, thoughtful, and just a tiny bit prickly (in the most loveable way). Finnigan is bold, curious, and always ready for the next adventure — even when the adventure finds him first.
Book 1 introduced us to these two wonderful characters and the magical woodland world they call home. It's a story about first friendships, being brave enough to say hello, and discovering that the best adventures begin when you stop going it alone.
Available as a printable PDF and as a physical book with international shipping — perfect for bedtime, homeschool reading time, or a cosy afternoon on the couch.
🌿 Book 2: Hariët, Finnigan, and the Swamp Adventure
Oh, the swamp. Nobody wanted to go to the swamp. And yet — there they were.
Book 2 takes Hariët and Finnigan deeper into the woodland world, into muddier, trickier, and altogether more exciting territory. This adventure is about sticking together when things get messy (literally), trusting your friend even when you're not sure of the path, and finding out that sometimes the places you least want to go hold the biggest surprises.
If Book 1 was about finding a friend, Book 2 is about keeping one — through the mud and all.
Also available as a printable PDF — grab it and print it at home for instant story time!
✨ Book 3: Coming Soon — and It's Going to Be Magical
We can barely contain our excitement about this one.
Book 3 is on its way, and it's a story that's been growing in our hearts for a while. It's about friends working together — really working together — and the extraordinary, unexpected, wonderful magic that happens when they do.
Because here's what we believe: when friends combine their different strengths, their different ways of seeing the world, something bigger than any one of them is possible. That's the heart of Book 3, and we can't wait to share it with you.
Stay close to the forest — we'll have more news very soon. 🍂
What We've Been Up To
Behind the scenes, the Woodland Wonder Tales family has been:
- 🖍️ Creating new colouring pages and printable activities to go alongside the books
- 📬 Sending stories out to families all over the world — from South Africa to far-flung corners of the globe
- 🌱 Growing our little woodland community, one reader at a time
- ✍️ Writing, illustrating, and pouring love into Book 3
It's been a season of creating, and we are so grateful for every single one of you who has picked up one of our books, shared it with a child, or left a kind word along the way.
Join Us in the Forest 🌲
If you haven't yet explored our woodland world, now is a wonderful time to start. Grab Book 1, meet Hariët and Finnigan, and follow them into the swamp in Book 2 — then keep your eyes peeled for the magic that's coming in Book 3.
