About Can't-Wait Willow:
"Willow is so excited that the Over-the-Top Circus has finally come to town! The only problem is that when left to her own devices, she can’t say “no” to some good things. On the way to the show, she is distracted by enticing treats and fun that she just can’t turn down. Willow arrives late and is sad to find that, not only has she run out of time, but money as well, and she won’t be able to enjoy the pink cotton candy she has been dreaming of. Willow is given valuable advice and a second chance and is ultimately taught the lesson that sometimes in life you have to say “no” to good things to end up with something great!"

Review:
Can't-Wait Willow has been selected as one of "Most Beloved Bedtime Stories" by Red Tricyle’s 2013 Totally Awesome Awards and I can see why. A good read any time of day, this story is a nice teaching to our kids (and a reminder to us adults) about patience, making good choices and getting second chances. We love books that help teach our children the many lessons they have to learn. This one is lovely! The illustrator, Luanne Marten captures the cute and bubbly personality of Willow beautifully, offering bright colors and adorable scenes. This book also offers a star search, where a star appears on each page depicting the mood of Willow's actions, a cute addition to the storyline and something my kids enjoy searching for over and over.
