For the Love of Willy is a story and activity book using art therapy to help children overcome the loss of a pet.

While traveling, Rose finds an injured, baby squirrel. She nurses him back to health and names him Willy. The two of them become good friends. But when Rose needs to go home, she must find Willy a new place to live. Rose is sad about saying goodbye, but she learns to find happiness in her memories, art, and expressions of love for Willy.

For the Love of Willy provides helpful tips for children to lift their spirits and find happiness again when they are sad about losing a pet.

Children may color the pictures in the book. For the Love of Willy also includes ten Activity Pages for children to create their own stories, drawings, or collages about a pet they have loved.

Why I wrote “For The Love Of Willy.”

‘I have been a lover of nature and every type of creature all my life. Through my life’s journey in caring for God’s creatures, a death or release of my beloved pets or creatures in my care has been a challenge for me emotionally each time.
I wrote this book with some of the things I’ve learned over the years to support me. I adore children and I have grandchildren, and I hope that this book will aid people of all ages with some techniques or ideas in how to create strength and hope in themselves when having to face the loss of a beloved one.’

LONDON BOOK FESTIVAL NAMES PET THERAPY SAGA FOR TOP HONORS

LONDON_ A children's story and activity book that uses art therapy and a moving tale to help overcome the loss of a pet is the winner of the 2023 London Book Festival, which honors the best of international publishing.

Author Nancy Addison's "For The Love of Willy: Overcoming Sadness After Losing a Beloved Pet" (Organic Healthy Lifestyle Publishing) tells the tale of a woman's bond with an injured baby squirrel. She nurtures Willy back to good health, but eventually must leave him in a sanctuary. However, along that path, she learns to find happiness in her memories, art and expressions of love.

The book provides helpful tips for children to lift their spirits and find happiness again when they are sad about losing a pet.
"Congratulations on a truly moving book. It brought a tear to my eye.
So many children's book purport to teach empathy and fall far short.
Yours hits the note perfectly." London Book Festival - Best , Bruce

5.0 out of 5 stars
A great story and a great lesson for children
This is a delightful book, which tells an entertaining story about an injured squirrel, and the obstacles that come along as a nature lover nurtures the squirrel back to health and then has to cope with the challenges of finding a new home for the squirrel and a sense of loss when she ultimately must give the squirrel up. There is much discovery here for a young child that could have a profound influence on the child's awareness of nature and the joy in befriending an animal, as well as a deeper understanding of the intricate intertwinings of love and loss and remembrance of special experiences in the past. I also like the technique of highlighting selected vocabulary words that are then defined in a glossary in the back. So many dimensions to the lessons this book conveys to an impressionable child.

    I bought this book for my daughter. She loves animals and we've been through several fishes and one hamster in our house. I bought this book for my daughter and so far she has LOVED it. With summer, I was worried about her being bored yet this book has been a great way to keep her busy and exercise her mind. Highly recommend this book and the beautiful art work on the cover.

    My children are very sensitive and have been very sad when they have had to deal with the passing of a pet. This book gives such great ideas for activities and art projects to help with healing and moving forward with joy. I am so grateful for this book and this author. I've read some of her other amazing nutrition/cookbooks. They have improved my and my family's health in powerful ways. I highly recommend all of this author's books. I am especially grateful for this book of art therapy. Nancy Addison is an incredibly diverse and intelligent author. I love her radio show/podcasts (Organic Healthy Lifestyle) as well.

    Recently, my mother-in-law's dog passed away. My son visited his grandparents' house often and absolutely loved this dog. He was very sad. So I tried this book which helps explain things on a level he could understand and made him comforted knowing this is a part of life. He was able to read along with me and he loved the pictures in the book. Great book and we would highly recommend it.
