Just a few reviews that are floating around. Go to Amazon, search BOOKS, The Great Willow and read the reviews! Here is one posted by an 8 year old!
“The Great Willow” is about a wolf pup. One day she wanted to have an adventure and so she asked Mama Wolf if she could go to the big farm house. Mama Wolf said no because it’s forbidden to wolves. Wolf Pup went anyways. When she got there she saw a little creature; it was a duckling. The two then set off to chase all their dreams.
In their adventure, Wolf Pup and Duckling make new friends on their way. The friends all helped them get to where they were going, which was to The Great Willow. Duckling was afraid of water and at one point they had to cross a river. The two friends, Beaver and Turtle, helped them across. Wolf Pup got on top of Beaver and Duckling rode on Turtle to get across the water.
“The Great Willow” by Michael Starr is a good story for anybody who likes adventures. This is a really good adventure book and the animal characters were fun.
Check out the rest at Amazon.com!
Cheers!

The Great Willow took Honorable Mention amongst hundreds of children’s books at the HW book festival. One small step for the independent author! I would also like to thank Blair and her crew at Totz Only for the great time we had on Saturday’s reading! I will be setting up another reading during their story time events sometime in September…I’ll keep you posted! Aaaand, last but not least…Six Flags was a great time. I will be planning another event sometime in late August. I’ll keep you all posted on that as well. Anyway, got to run! Have fun!

Thank You!!!! The response has been overwhelming for The Great Willow! I have been trying to number, sign and send every order that has been placed, and I’m happy to say…most pre-orders have been shipped. You should receive them soon. I can’t thank you enough for your patience.
Note #1: I have run out of book marks and have ordered a box. They should be here on Monday or Tuesday. If you do not recieve your book(s)…you will. I want to make sure you get everything that was promised to you.
Note #2: Internet sales and Amazon.com…The book is available at Amazon as well as my website. If you order from Thegreatwillow.com you will get a free poster and bookmark (for 900 copies only)…this does NOT apply for Amazon or any other website. After the initial 900 books are gone, the books will be generic and you can order them from any bookstore/website/panhandler/circus clown/etc in the world. I urge you to purchase (for now) from my website. If you want to be anonymous…use Amazon…see if I care! Either way…Thank you! :~)
Note #3: I want to thank Kym Checkor and the first graders, kinders, and pre k for welcoming me to Rio Vista Elementary School to read to them. THANKS GUYS!
