Pip’s Letter to Granny
A woodland story about discovery, expression, and the magic of writing
In the very first adventure in the Andrew the Pen Maker series, Pip the Squirrel longs to send a letter to her Granny. But Pip has never written a letter before.
When Andrew crafts a special wooden pen just for her, something wonderful happens. With Wilee watching closely, Pip begins to discover that writing is more than marks on a page — it is a way to share thoughts, feelings, and imagination.
What starts as a simple letter becomes a journey of discovery, confidence, and creative expression.
