Bookroo's summary

In the heart of the forest, wildcat kittens Willow and Corrie face a crisis when their den is destroyed by a curious sheepdog. As they bicker, the siblings must learn to cooperate to find a new, safe haven. Will they overcome their rivalry and embrace teamwork? This rhyming tale, set against the vibrant backdrop of the Scottish Highlands, explores the challenges and rewards of sibling bonds amidst the beauty of endangered wildlife.

From the publisher

Willow the wildcat kitten and her brother Corrie live in a cozy den in the forest with their mom. But disaster strikes when a nosy sheepdog collapses their den. Can the kittens stop fighting long enough to learn how to work together and find a warm, safe new home?

Written in lively rhyme, this charming tale of two siblings learning to appreciate each other and work as a team features dynamic watercolor illustrations of forest wildlife and two adorable wildcat kittens, which are endangered in Europe.

From the author of best-selling Skye the Puffling and Rowan the Red Squirrel, Willow the Wildcat brings the beauty of the Scottish Highlands and its animal inhabitants charmingly to life.
