Timber Review by "The Authors Life"

I picked up *Journey of Timber: The Easter Bunny’s Little Brother* last night to read “just a few pages” with my niece, and we ended up finishing the whole thing in one go. The story follows Timber and his brother Everest as they work together to bring something magical to life, and what stood out to me most was how grounded the message felt. It’s not just about Easter, it’s about creativity, teamwork, and doing something kind without needing recognition. There were a couple of moments where Timber doubts himself, and I liked how that was handled. It didn’t feel overly preachy or forced, just honest in a way kids can understand. My niece actually paused at one point to say, “He’s like me when I mess up,” which kind of says it all. The illustrations are also really warm and inviting—colorful without being overwhelming—and they helped keep her engaged the whole time. I also appreciated the extra content at the end. The study guide and coloring pages feel like a nice bonus rather than filler, especially if you’re using this in a classroom or for more structured reading time. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this to parents, teachers, or anyone looking for a meaningful, cozy read for younger kids, especially around springtime. Post Description: I didn’t expect a simple Easter story to hit me right in the feelings, but this one actually did.

Timber Review by “Readers Connect”

I just finished reading "Journey of Timber" by William Grothe, and my heart is honestly so full. It is one of those rare children's books that captures the quiet magic of childhood so perfectly.

The story follows two brothers, Timber and Everest, and it’s much more than just a typical Easter tale. Instead of just waiting for the holiday to happen, these two use their creativity and teamwork to actually help create the magic. I found the message so grounding, it teaches little ones that the most powerful magic doesn't come from a wand, but from hard work, kindness, and supporting the people you love.

There’s a beautiful warmth to the bond between the brothers that felt incredibly relatable. It reminded me that the best parts of spring aren't just the treats, but the spirit of renewal and giving. Plus, the fact that it includes a study guide and coloring pages makes it such a thoughtful gift for parents or teachers. If you’re looking for a soulful, enchanting read to share with your family this season, this journey is one you’ll want to take.

Timber Review by “Harper Book Reads”

Journey Of Timber felt like stepping into a gentle little world filled with wonder, love, and the kind of magic that quietly stays with you long after the last page.

What I loved most about this story is that it doesn’t rely on grand adventures or impossible miracles—instead, it celebrates something even more meaningful: the beauty of creativity, teamwork, and family. Following Timber and Everest on their journey was such a heartwarming experience. Their bond as brothers felt genuine and sweet, reminding me how powerful it is to create something together and support the people we care about.

Even though it carries the spirit of Easter, the message goes far beyond the season. It beautifully shows children that real magic comes from kindness, effort, and believing in what you can build with your own hands and heart.

The addition of a study guide and coloring pages makes this book feel even more special and interactive. Journey Of Timber is the kind of story I’d happily recommend to families looking for a meaningful, cozy read that inspires imagination and connection.

Yorki-poo Review by “The Children’s Book Shelf”

Here’s a beautiful book about a puppy’s journey through life… through finding a forever home, discovering friendship, facing loss, and learning to pass love from generation to generation.
We read this with the first-grade students and they were very touched by it. It went very well and after we all talked about some of our pets at home. I love the story’s perspective. Many people don’t stop to consider the life journey that our pets have had and what it must be like for them along the way. The message of kindness and acceptance is powerful and truly heartwarming.
Highly recommend it, a perfect choice for any family with dogs and definitely a great addition to the classroom bookshelf

Yorki-poo Review By “Story Lane Post Kids”

Journey of a Yorki-Poo tells the story of a small puppy navigating the early stages of life—from the comfort of his mother and siblings to the uncertainty of being separated and placed in a new environment. Told from the puppy’s perspective, the story follows his fears, confusion, and eventual transition into a loving home.
The strength of this book is the heart behind it. Based on the author’s real dog, Wilson Curtis, the story carries a quiet emotional weight that comes through in the puppy’s journey. The themes of loss, adjustment, and belonging are clear and accessible for young readers.
The illustrations are bright and expressive, helping to bring the puppy’s emotions to life and making the story easy for children to follow.
At times, the text feels a bit heavy for a read-aloud and could be more streamlined, but the message remains clear. This is a gentle story about finding your place and the comfort of being chosen and loved.
A meaningful read for families, especially those who understand the bond between people and their pets.

The way Wilson Curtis interacts with his family and his companions reminded me of how pets don’t just live with us—they teach us about patience, empathy, and love without conditions. It’s a message that feels both timeless and deeply personal for anyone who has ever loved a pet.

At its heart, this book is about the unconditional love and connection between humans and their four-legged family members. Simple yet meaningful, it’s a story that makes you laugh, reflect, and appreciate the small everyday moments that make pets so unforgettable. Highly recommended for dog lovers, families, and young readers who delight in stories that warm the heart.

Yorki-poo Review by “Amercan Publishers”

This book is a heartwarming and beautifully told story that captures not only the adventures of a lovable little pup named Wilson Curtis but also the deep emotional bonds that exist between pets and their families.

The poetic blend of narrative and verse creates a rhythm that is both soothing and engaging for young readers, while the story’s progression—from the innocence of puppyhood, through moments of loss, and ultimately toward healing and new friendship—is touching and profoundly relatable. The emotional depth is handled with grace and sensitivity, making this more than just a children’s book—it’s a story about love, resilience, and the importance of companionship.

The inclusion of a study guide at the end is a brilliant touch, adding educational value and expanding the book’s usefulness in classroom and family settings alike. It encourages discussion around themes like empathy, responsibility, and emotional growth—all through the lens of a story that children will adore.

About the Author

Children’s book by first time

Author William Grothe

I was born in a small rural township in northeastern Nebraska called Bloomfield. No matter how old I grow or where life takes me, Bloomfield will always feel like home. In 1956, when I was six years old, our family moved to California. I was the youngest of six children, with five older sisters and no brothers.

California became my new home, and it’s where I spent most of my life. From 1968 to 1972, I served in the military. Shortly thereafter, I experienced what would become the greatest blessing of my life – I met my future wife, Rosie. We shared 42 wonderful years together.

After Rosie passed away, I moved from California to Tennessee to be closer to my son and grandson. Accompanying me on that journey was my last live-in connection to her, our beloved dog, Wilson Curtis. Wilson Curtis later became the inspiration for my first children’s book.

Now, in the winter of my life, I find joy in writing. It keeps my mind active and gives me comfort knowing I’ll leave something meaningful behind.
