Willy Helps a Friend-New Book Teaches Children that Despite Differences We Are Really All the Same

April 26, 2010 - PRLog -- When a parent moves their family to a new town, it’s sometimes difficult and scary for their kids to meet new friends. Children often feel out of place in a new school and other children aren’t always as welcoming as they should be, especially if the child looks or dresses different than his or her peers.  The story of Willy Helps a Friend helps children learn that we should really get to know someone before we judge them.

When Skunk arrives on Old MacDonald’s Farm, none of the other animals will get close enough to her to get to know her. Skunk, a sad newcomer to the farm, is shunned by the other animals and their preconceived notions of her.  

Willy the Worm has the courage to befriend Skunk and realizes that she is not much different than the other animals after all. Can Willy convince the others to give Skunk a chance? Can the other animals find things they have in common with Skunk?

This delightful story allows children to become a part of Old MacDonald’s Farm while incorporating important lessons about empathy and acceptance.
