Review of Willy's Quest For A Home
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Willy's Quest For A Home" by Sonya Herburger.]
In this children's story, One-eyed Willy, a small chihuahua, narrates his experiences in the Hope Shelter, his involvement in a car accident, his time in A Home 4 Ever Rescue and his eventual adoption by a kind, loving lady named Sonya, whom he describes as a mom who knows "how to make things better." Sonya has two other dogs named King Tut and Titan. Willy, King Tut and Titan get along so well and create interesting memories.
Willy's Quest for a Home—A Pawsome Adventure by Sonya Herburger explores themes of love, longing for a family, challenges and resilience in ways children can easily relate to. Take, for instance, Willy's inner struggles during his stay in the Hope Shelter. It can be challenging to be separated from loved ones, and continuously being passed over can raise self-doubt.
Willy's account of his experience in A Home 4 Ever Rescue shows the importance of community. Discussing our challenges can help create some bond and emotional support. The awareness of our common struggles can help shift our perception of our condition. It can free us from loneliness and self-pity and can empower us to turn our breakdowns into breakthroughs.
Another thing that interested me was the story's commentary on the importance of resolving personal conflicts. King Tut's statement about bad memories and how they can haunt us if not properly resolved was insightful. King Tut and Titan's support for Willy and how this encouraged him to open up on his past traumatic experience make an important statement on providing children with a conducive environment to express their feelings and concerns.
The story also underscores the amazing jobs done by rescue homes. The atmosphere of love, kindness, community and hope in A Home 4 Ever Rescue is incredibly fascinating. It is beautiful to see dogs facing different kinds of challenges coming there and getting transformed. I didn't dislike anything in this book.
I rate Willy's Quest for a Home—A Pawsome Adventure 5 out of 5 stars for the following reasons. The story is interesting and raises a number of issues about dogs' welfare. The quality of the illustrations is impressive. They are so rich and perfectly reflect the mood of each given scene. Furthermore, the book was thoroughly proofread.
This is one of the best children's stories I have read recently. I recommend it to every child.

I have to read this, and I will use the themes highlighted, especially the theme of resilience to inspire my nieces. Such a great review.
