Hi, we’re Rebecca & Matthew, teachers, parents, and the authors behind Willow & Bloom.

Each handbook above holds 106 real-world skills for ages 8–12 — cooking, money, speaking up, bouncing back — every one with a mission to actually go and try. Pick the edition that suits your child and read it completely free.

When you’re finished, we’d love to hear what you thought. Your honest feedback helps us improve our books.

Enjoyed it? One of the best ways to support our small publishing business is to leave an honest star rating or review on Amazon. It takes just a moment, costs nothing, and helps other parents decide if the book is right for their child.
