Wendy Gilligan’s heartwarming stories featuring the Pine Valley Pals celebrate friendship, resilience, and the power of creativity to overcome big emotions and challenges.
My son is just like Rocky Racoon, routine is everything. This story helped us talk about change and how to feel ready for school. A must-have for anxious kids.
We adored Gertie's Pink Slippers. It's such a gentle, comforting tale about big feelings and creative problem-solving. Gertie's dad is a perfect example of supportive parenting!
As an educator, I appreciate how Wendy's books tackle real-life scenarios, such as performance anxiety (Penelope Panda) and math anxiety (Tommy Turtle). They are fantastic tools for social-emotional learning.
The Ask three and then ask me strategy in Tommy Turtle is brilliant! It empowered my daughter to seek help from her peers first, boosting her confidence in class.
