When kids feel lonely, isolated, or disconnected, a handwritten letter can do what a screen can't.

The Written Adventure of Nella Lace, written by Laura Leeson and
illustrated by Harvey Walls, is a whimsical picture book that follows a young unicorn in the magical land of Glenndondia who learns the power of written words through letters. During her journey, she models the thought process behind how she writes and practices saying more than the bare minimum. In an era where kids turn to AI to build connections, The Written Adventure of Nella Lace shows them that some relationships don't need screens. Templates are included in the back to guide kids in writing their own letters including thank-you cards and apology notes.
