A bespoke character plush toy, crafted with care - and safe for all ages
The star of our bestselling picture book series, Willow the Wonderer, is an adventurous little donkey who wonders deeply about life. In your home, he becomes a cherished companion for your little one's very own adventurous quests — a soft, huggable reminder that wonder, wisdom and joy are never too far away.
Crafted with the same artisan touch as our books, this bespoke plush toy was designed by illustrator Darren Pryce to bring Willow out of the pages and into the real world.
"I had already purchased the books in the series, which I love and am yet to share with my class, but came back to buy the Willow plush toy to add to the experience of reading. Can't go past a page turner. Can't wait to receive this!" — Belinda H. (Teacher) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Features loved by our readers:
- The Signature Style: Sporting his iconic purple-striped onesie, Willow brings a touch of retro charm and a lot of personality to any nursery or bookshelf — And yes, we get the fabric custom-made for Willow!
- A Tactile Connection: Reading and listening to stories is an immersive experience — and having a toy companion to hold enhances the experience of that moment. Being naturally empathic, children get a good feeling from being able to hold and comfort Willow as he goes through the highs and lows of his epic adventures. This tactile connection also helps them to focus and absorb the story more deeply.
- Designed for Cuddles: Made from soft velour, Willow is perfectly weighted and sized to be a constant companion to the little ones, from the first morning quest to the final bedtime story.
- Peace of Mind: Like our books, quality is at the heart of everything we do. Willow is independently lab-tested to meet the highest safety standards, ensuring he is a safe friend for all ages, from newborns up.

The Perfect Pairing
Willow is never truly complete without his stories. While he is a charming friend on his own, he is most at home tucked under an arm while you read from the Willow the Wonderer collection.
A note from the author and illustrator:
"Willow the Wonderer started as a shared dream to write stories that plant seeds of wisdom in young minds; seeds that hopefully blossom with time and guide our young readers in their journey through life. We also wanted the books to make early childhood learning effortless. But mostly we wanted to create beautiful stories that the little ones (and big ones) simply fall in love with. These are stories we wish we'd grown up with."
