BOOKS AUTHORED BY KERRY

WILL AND THE MAGICAL SUNFLOWER

Some seeds grow sunflowers. Others grow magic.

When Will plants a simple sunflower seed with his Nan, he never expects it to whisper secrets, glow with wonder, or lead him into a hidden world beneath the garden soil. Guided by Nan’s gentle wisdom, his loyal dog George, and the mysterious Threadspinner, Will discovers that courage, kindness, and patience can awaken extraordinary magic.

But when the dark Blight threatens to unravel the garden’s threads, Will must rise as its Guardian and prove that even the smallest seed—and the smallest boy, can grow into something powerful.

A heartwarming tale of bravery, imagination, and the quiet magic of nature, Will and the Magical Sunflower will enchant children aged 7–11 and anyone who believes that stories, like seeds, grow best when shared.

BOOK REVIEWS

“You were absolutely amazing with the kids, you definitely had them mesmerised and had an impact on them! The experience was wholesome, engaging, and so well thought out. They were asking teachers to finish the book before you were even out the gate! They all love their worms and are excited to plant their seeds.”

“Author Kerry Castree visited the Scotsburn campus to run her unique workshop, including a live reading of Will and the Magical Sunflower.

Students received sunflower seeds to plant at home and a courage worm to support emotional wellbeing. This visit ties in beautifully with our sustainability focus."
