About Courageous Tales for Curious Boys by Anna Willis
Nine-year-old Alex has a problem. Whether it’s facing a boring chore, a broken toy, or a pang of envy, some days just feel… tough. But Alex has a secret weapon: a wise, witty, and wonderfully dapper squirrel named Professor Nutsworth who lives in the old oak tree in his backyard.
“Courageous Tales for Curious Boys” is a collection of ten heartwarming adventures where everyday childhood challenges become magical lessons. Each story follows Alex and his friends as they are gently guided by Professor Nutsworth on quests that teach them about the biggest adventures of all: finding gratitude, embracing responsibility, choosing honesty, and discovering the quiet power of empathy.
This book is a journey into a world where courage isn’t about fighting monsters, but about trying again, sharing your cookies, and doing the right thing, even when it’s hard. It’s the perfect read for curious kids and thoughtful parents looking to spark warm smiles and meaningful conversations.

Author Bio:
Hi, I’m Anna.
I write stories for curious kids and thoughtful parents — the kind that spark questions, quiet smiles, and maybe even a deeper breath at the end of the day. Courageous Tales for Curious Boys is filled with gentle adventures, emotional honesty, and a very opinionated squirrel who just might remind your child (or you) of someone you know.
I care deeply about giving boys space to feel — not just to act, or win, or “be tough” — but to wonder, reflect, grow, and be kind. Stories are one of the best ways I know to encourage that.
When I’m not writing, you can find me by the sea, where long walks help me untangle thoughts and dream up new ideas. I share my days with my family and more books than shelves, and I’m endlessly fascinated by how children make sense of the world (and often do it better than adults).
If my stories can spark a meaningful conversation between you and your kid — or just make bedtime a little more magical — I’ve done my job.
