About Wanda's Books

This tale sets the stage for Lyra's future adventures.

Meet Angel Swan, a beautiful bird who is loved by the local villagers but left out by her flock because of her unique, silvery wing. Feeling lonely and different, Angel makes a heartfelt wish under a falling star to experience life as a human.

When she awakens transformed into a young girl, she begins a magical adventure working at the village bakery alongside a kind boy named Ethan. But her human joy takes on a greater purpose when she discovers a tough truth: the white bread the villagers love to feed the swans is actually making them sick with a condition called "Angel Wing."

Angel Swan is a heartwarming tale that beautifully blends gentle magic with a real-world environmental lesson about caring for wildlife. Perfect for young readers aged 7 to 8, this touching story teaches children that our differences are our greatest strengths, and that a compassionate heart is the most powerful magic of all.

• A Tangible Lesson: Teaches children why we shouldn’t feed bread to birds and how to offer healthy alternatives like seeds and greens instead.
• Embracing Differences: Validates the feeling of being "different" and shows how unique qualities can be transformed into your greatest purpose.
• A Legacy of Kindness: A timeless story about turning personal hardship into a mission to protect the collective.

 A story about finding your wings and saving the wild.

Have you ever looked at the wild spaces around you and wondered what secrets they hold? Have you ever closed your eyes and wished you could soar like a bird or run with the strength of a wolf?

For seven-year-old Lyra, the deep, wild woods behind her house are a place of endless wonder—but they are also a reminder of everything she thinks she cannot do. Told by the older children that she is too small for big adventures, Lyra is left behind, her chest tight with tears, wishing for a way to escape her limitations.

But true magic doesn’t require growing wings to fly away. It requires an open heart and the willingness to see the world from a completely different point of view.

Guided by Angel, the wise guardian of the lake, Lyra learns a powerful protocol for spiritual survival: a way to quiet her mind, set a pure intention, and travel beyond the boundaries of her physical body. Through this deep, quiet connection, Lyra experiences the world directly through the eyes of the creatures who inhabit it. As a swift bluebird and a powerful wolf, she discovers a heartbreaking truth—the wild places she loves are hurting, polluted by the careless footprints of the human world.

Suddenly, Lyra's adventure is no longer about escaping her reality. It is about transforming her deepest empathy into her highest purpose.

Alongside her loyal friend Leo, Lyra sets out to show her entire village that you are never too small to create justice, change minds, and protect the innocent. Lyra and the Whispering Woods is a beautiful, paradox-holding tale that teaches children that true authenticity is forged when we stop waiting for the world to fix itself and instead start creating healing within our own energy field.

• Empowering Message:  Teach children real spiritual resilience, empathy, and the power of taking action.
• Environmental Stewardship: A gentle yet direct look at how human choices impact wildlife, inspiring young readers to become active protectors of nature.

"May we all listen to the whispers of the woods and protect the magic within them."
