Andrew’s Birthday Surprise
A woodland story about friendship, thoughtfulness, and the joy of being remembered
In this heart warming adventure from the Andrew the Pen Maker series, Wilee wakes Andrew bright and early, lead in mouth and tail swishing, ready for what seems like an ordinary spring walk.
But after a visit to the village green, where ribbons flutter around the Maypole and Morris dancers fill the air with music, Wilee suddenly disappears.
Andrew searches and wonders where his loyal little dog has gone.
What he does not know is that Wilee is busy in the woodland, gathering friends, hanging lanterns, and preparing a very special birthday surprise.
With a glowing woodland clearing, a cake, music, and the warmth of friendship all around, this gentle story celebrates kindness, loyalty, and the happiness of feeling truly remembered.
