Seeking Will Picture Book

Help Bring Seeking Will to Life! Following the success of Finding Grace Kimihia a Grace, our bilingual picture book, we’re excited to create the next story in the series: Seeking Will. This new book was inspired by the January 2023 storms in the Waitākere Ranges, which highlighted the resilience and strength of our community. It tells the story of a boy and his dog navigating a storm, exploring themes of connection, courage, and the will to thrive. Throughout 2024, we held Create a Book Together workshops, where children and families helped shape the words and backgrounds for the story. Now, we’re launching a Boosted campaign to fund local illustration, design, and printing costs, ensuring the project remains community-centered. Your support will help us complete this heartfelt book and inspire creativity, conversation, and connection. Together, let’s bring Seeking Will to life—join us on this journey!
