Will and the Secret Strawberry Online Book Launch
About
Join us for the special online launch of Will and the Secret Strawberry by Kerry Castree, a heartwarming and beautifully written children’s story about patience, emotions, and the quiet magic of growing things in their own time.Will is ready.
Ready to grow strawberries. Ready to make jam. Ready… to not wait.
But the garden has other plans.
When a mysterious “magic mulch” is planted, Will discovers that growing something special takes more than digging and watering. It takes patience, listening, and learning how to calm the storm inside. With the help of his playful little brother Hamish, his wise Nan, and George the ever-watchful garden dog, Will begins a gentle journey where feelings grow just like strawberries, slowly, quietly, and beautifully in their own time.
This delightful story is more than a read, it’s an experience for children and families alike. Alongside the story, readers will also discover simple mindfulness tools, a real scone recipe, and fun activities designed to be enjoyed together at home.
At this online launch event, we celebrate a book that encourages emotional awareness, connection, and calm, reminding us all that growth cannot be rushed, and that big feelings are part of every meaningful journey.

• Introduction to Will and the Secret Strawberry
