Wilbur and his Mama walk Wally dog by the sea. As Wally chases the pine cone and Wilbur's buggy bounces, the birds begin to appear, firstly chattering and chirping and then gossiping and philosophising. This is a story of small struggles, small triumphs and really big love.
'Rebecca and Dan Nash present a world brimming with colour and detail - simply and elegantly - without betraying their love for a good story' - MARLON WILLIAMS
Rebecca Nash lives in Lyttelton with a small child, a dog, a cat and many non-venomous spiders in the corners of rooms. She has an MA in English from the University of Canterbury, an MA in Creative Writing from Victoria University's International Institute of Modern Letters, and currently teaches creative writing at the University of Canterbury. She has previously published her poems in takahe, Minarets and Turbine, and on a Phantom Billstickers poster. She and her little brother, Dan, shared the same imaginative space as children, and she knew he would instinctively understand the spooky and magical undertones of Wilbur's Walk.
