Barry Is Terrific

A tree frog on the run.

A butterfly in flight.

And two children who didn't expect to meet in the middle of the woods.

When Elliott Stringfellow chases his tree frog into Wilderwhim Woods, he meets Juniper Bloom, who is following a butterfly through the tall grass. Two separate adventures quickly become one.

Together, they discover a gentle bear napping beneath the trees-Barry Goodwon, who always answers "How are you?" with one cheerful word: "Terrific!"

Nearby, Harry Hopwell tends to a tender foot while woodland friends quietly prepare Barry's surprise birthday party. From their lookout, Radar and Sonar announce they're "picking something up," while Sssylvia Hissabell lingers beyond the gathering, unsure whether she belongs.

Barry Is Terrific is a heartwarming introduction to the Wilderwhim Woods series-a story filled with woodland wonder, gentle humor, quiet courage, and the magical moment when new friendships begin.

Perfect for families who enjoy character-driven stories celebrating kindness, confidence, belonging, and being exactly who you are.

An interactive seek-and-find adventure! Children can search for Sailor Swift, the tiny snail hidden throughout the illustrations.
