Synopsis
A story encouraging young readers to embrace difference and develop empathy with adorable Wesley; who although charming and vivacious, is ostracised by the other weasels of Westburrow Wood. Themes of difference, bullying and acceptance are woven throughout this story, allowing for meaningful but warm and accessible home or classroom conversations.
Authors Biography
This book was written by an adoptive, dad of two, inspired by the prejudices he experienced in his youth, due to his choice of clothing not being acceptable within a small-town community. Samuel now focuses on ‘problem-solving’ books for children, namely problems around well-being (mental health) society or the planet.
A brilliant book.
Delightful. Beautifully presented.

I think this book is such a good way of explaining being different isn’t just OK but it’s right!
