Wuzzy

In the heart of the woods, the world feels very big when you are a very small bird who has lost sight of his family.

Wuzzy was daydreaming instead of listening-but when the forest grew quiet and his parents were nowhere to be found, he had to find the courage he never knew he had. In this beautifully rhyming tale, Wuzzy navigates the frustration of feeling unheard and the heavy shadow of being alone, discovering that even in the biggest woods, he is never truly lost.

Written and illustrated by the husband-and-wife team Zachary and Nichole Bacigalupa, this book is more than just a story-it is an interactive experience designed to help children navigate their own big feelings and fears.
