A beautifully illustrated picture book about finding friendships in new places

Meet Wilbur, a little boy making a big move in this illustrated storybook that teaches young children about embracing change.

Moving house is tough, especially when you're moving to a new place with new people, and leaving your old life behind. Wilbur needs a distraction, and there's nothing better to keep his mind occupied than the curious glow that lights up his new garden every night. Join Wilbur as he discovers that flowers and the trees look different under a star-studded sky, and that new friends can be found in the most unexpected places.

With beautiful illustrations and an engaging storyline, this book will inspire and captivate young readers with its uplifting message about exploring new environments and building strong friendships. It also teaches children that change doesn't always need to be scary, and letting go of fear can lead to exciting new things. A perfect bedtime story and addition to every child's bookshelf.
