childrens book sets: Wally Raccoon’s Farmyard Olympics Winter Olympics

On a cold and grey winter morning, Sal the Collie trots by Wally Raccoon’s house in her puffy down coat

and invites him on his next Olympic adventure.

The grey and brown shades of the water color and ink illustrations weave another story of Olympic success for Wally.

How many times are we told that we cannot do things before we even try?

Uncle Moe discourages Wally once again, and the mice skaters are mean when they tell him to go away,

but that doesn’t stop Wally.

Just because someone else doesn’t believe in you,

doesn’t mean that you cannot believe in yourself.

In this story, we know who to believe when it comes to what Wally can do.
