What People Are Saying
★ “A beautiful, inclusive story of lacrosse’s community-building potential…gorgeous illustrations.”
-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Willis and the Magic Stick accomplishes a rare feat by being - all at once - educational, spiritually-minded, inclusive and accessible. Although written for children, this book is worth reading by anyone of any age, for it reminds us of our connection to the earth, to one another, and to that which is bigger than ourselves.”

About the story
Every person has special talents that are unique and of value.
Bringing people together builds community.
These positive messages come to life as young Willis navigates moving to a new city and new school where he doesn’t know a single person and has no friends. Willis is lost and lonely until paid a midnight visit by the Magic Stick and Majestic Eagle.
Off they soar to the land of the birds and animals where Willis learns lacrosse is a game for everyone that offers a path to new friends.
An inspiring story for children and families.
