Product Description
We Are the Wibbly! by Sarah Tagholm is a lively and imaginative picture book that introduces children to the interconnected world of ecosystems, biodiversity, and the tiny living things that help nature thrive.
Through playful storytelling and energetic illustrations, readers discover the “Wibbly” — a small but important part of a much larger ecosystem. The story gently explores how plants, animals, insects, fungi, and microscopic life all work together in the natural world, helping children understand that even the smallest living things have an important role to play.
Blending science concepts with engaging storytelling, this book encourages curiosity, outdoor observation, and deeper appreciation for the living world all around us.

FOUNDED BY WOMEN. BUILT FOR ADVENTURE.
ODSS was started by mothers who saw firsthand how time outside builds resilient, confident kids. What began as helping outdoor schools equip students for all-weather learning grew into a bigger mission: Help families raise resilient, confident kids by making it easier for children to stay outside longer.

For us, the right gear from ODSS supports what we believe most about childhood. When children are able to be outside every day, in all seasons, they become tenacious, confident, and develop an authentic relationship with the land.

Ordering bulk with Outdoor School Shop was just as easy and seamless as I had hoped!
