What can a simple box become in the hands of a child? For author and mother Laura Willoughby, the answer is endless. Her newly released book Box transforms one of childhood’s simplest objects into a doorway to creativity, learning, and connection. Written with heart and purpose, Box captures the wonder of discovery, reminding young readers that imagination truly knows no limits.
Through playful storytelling and charming illustrations, Box encourages children to see the extraordinary in the everyday. It introduces early learners to adjectives and emotional awareness, gently building language skills through adventure and curiosity. Beneath its simplicity lies a deeper message, one of friendship, sharing, and cooperation, showing that the best stories begin when imagination and kindness meet.
Living in Oxfordshire, UK, Laura Willoughby draws daily inspiration from her three children, one of whom has Down Syndrome and Autism. Their unique perspectives shape every story she writes, infusing each page with warmth, empathy, and inclusion. Her experiences as both a parent and advocate for children with special educational needs have made her books more than stories; they are bridges of understanding.
