Willow Saves The Bookshop

Martha loves stories, but reading the words herself feels almost impossible. When she discovers a cosy little bookshop and meets Willow, a gentle assistance dog with a habit of stealing bookmarks, Martha begins to realise that reading does not have to be frightening-or something she must face alone. With coloured reading rulers, patient friends and plenty of encouragement, Martha slowly begins to find her confidence. But when the bookshop owner reveals that the shop may have to close, Martha and the other children decide it is their turn to help. Soon, posters covered in pawprints appear around town, inviting children to a special Saturday reading group. At first, nobody comes. Then one nervous child steps through the door-and everything begins to change. Willow Saves the Bookshop is a warm and uplifting children's story about dyslexia, autism, friendship, community and discovering that difficult does not mean impossible. Perfect for children who struggle with reading, feel different from others or simply need reminding that everyone learns in their own way.
