What if the most important part of a journey was learning when not to hurry?
Milo Raccoon and the Little Boats of Blossom Brook
Book Three of The Moonwood Adventures. A warm illustrated story about patience, hope, creativity and trusting the journey for children ages 4–8.
Every spring, the woodland families of Moonwood gather beside Blossom Brook for Boat Day.
There are no races and no winners - only carefully crafted little vessels, hopeful wishes and a winding stream waiting to carry them onward. With help from Willow Beaver, Grandpa Oliver and his Moonwood friends, Milo creates a little cedar craft of his own.
When the boat becomes caught beneath the roots of the oldest willow tree, Milo must decide whether to rush in or pause, listen and trust the journey. What follows is a gentle story about patience, hope, creativity and allowing good things to unfold in their own time.
The bedtime challenge
