The Adventures of Layda — Book One
Layda and the Whispering Forest
Meet Layda, a curious young beaver with a heart full of wonder and an adventurous spirit.
Growing up in Beaver Branch, Layda has always felt drawn to the forest surrounding her home. One day, while exploring beyond the familiar paths, she begins to hear something unusual—the gentle whispers of the trees.
What begins as a simple adventure soon leads Layda deeper into the forest than she has ever ventured before. Along the way, she encounters unexpected friends, discovers places she has never seen, and begins to notice that the forest has stories of its own to tell.
With every step, Layda learns that the world around her is more connected—and more mysterious—than she ever imagined.
Layda and the Whispering Forest is a heartwarming tale of curiosity, courage, friendship, and discovery, inviting young readers to slow down, listen closely, and appreciate the magical connections between all living things.
Because every great adventure begins with a single step.
What if your child could color a Christmas story and tell it differently every time?
Whittlewood Tales: Christmas is a cozy story told completely through pictures. With no written story to follow, children color each scene, discover what happens next, notice little details, and use their own words and imagination to bring the adventure to life. Along the way, a little gnome and his woodland friends journey toward the Bethlehem star and the true heart of Christmas.
A CHRISTMAS ADVENTURE TO COLOR AND SHARE
Follow the little gnome into the snowy woods as he meets a lovable bear, busy beaver, gentle moose, curious capybara, and even a friendly Bigfoot. Together, the friends bring home a Christmas tree, decorate, bake, make gifts, and prepare for a cozy woodland Christmas.
Then a special star appears. The friends follow the Bethlehem star through the snowy woods until their journey leads them to the Nativity and the heart of Christmas, the birth of Jesus.
MORE THAN A COLORING BOOK
Because the story is told entirely through pictures, children can describe what is happening, predict what comes next, give the characters names and voices, and tell the story differently each time they open the book.
Parents and grandparents can join in too, turning coloring time into conversation, imagination, laughter, and meaningful time together during the Christmas season.
A CHRISTMAS GIFT THAT CREATES MEMORIES
This book makes a thoughtful Christmas gift for children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews, families, Sunday school classes, and coloring fans of all ages. Tuck it into a Christmas Eve box, add it to a stocking, bring it along for Christmas travel, or wrap it up beneath the tree.
Every person chooses the colors and tells the story in their own words, making each finished book a unique Christmas keepsake.
