Meet The Wolols: Welcome To Wololand is a fantasy and a social issues picture book for children, grades k-3, written and illustrated by Maria Vergara. Wololand is a very special place where anything you imagine can appear in the blink of an eye. The Wolols are quite happy living in Wololand, where they each live in their own brightly colored house. Young readers are encouraged to knock on the doors of each of the Wolols to learn more about them, their interests, and their favorite activities. They also learn about crafting using reused and recyclable items and creating their own Magic WOBOXes to store their materials. What can Tato and the others make from an old cardboard box?

Maria Vergara’s crafting and eco-friendly picture book, Meet The Wolols, encourages young readers to explore the limitless potential of their own imaginations. It also introduces four different personalities who use both their unique and shared interests to make their first joint project a success. Her characters build a sense of inclusion that will help kids of all personality types feel they belong, and I loved her list of everyday items kids can store in their own Magic WOBOXes for future projects. The author includes a link for templates of the Wolol characters so kids can get involved in following along with the characters. Her illustrations are fun, imaginative, and perfectly suited for this craft-centric selection. Meet The Wolols: Welcome To Wololand is highly recommended.

Visit the land of the Wolols, way up in the sky where anything is possible. Tato, Wola, Caco, Cowee, and Weva are colorful and very busy Wolols in this interactive storybook. Tato describes himself as responsible, persistent, and organized. Tato is very conscious of the planet’s environment. He recycles and keeps old craft materials in the Wobox for later projects. Tato enjoys playing with the other Wolols but doesn’t mind being by himself as well. Wola is a happy, cheerful Wolol who enjoys dancing, dressing up, and painting. She enjoys books and music and the color pink. Caco is adventurous and brave. His competitive nature mixes well with Tato’s desire to keep the environment clean. Caco does admit that he can have a temper. Weva is the youngest and very much enjoys creating crafts and making music. Cowee (committed with entertainment and environment) is the Wolol robot. Cowee’s primary function is to assist the rest of the Wolols in achieving their goals of using their imaginations to the fullest.

Meet the Wolols: Welcome To Wololand by Maria Vergara is an unusual activity book full of smiles. With the text read on the computer or e-reader screen, children have the option of connecting immediately with each character rather than scrolling through the entire manuscript, making this a great addition to the 21st-century school curriculum. Maria Vergara offers suggestions to include in the reader’s personal Wobox. A list of possible box contents, as well as website information, is included. Good for classroom or at-home entertainment.

Meet The Wolols: Welcome To Wololand is a work of fiction in the children’s adventure and illustrated storytelling, penned and drawn by author Maria Vergara. As we explore the world of the titular Wolols (short for Wow, Laughing Out Loud), we enter a world that encourages full imagination and creative play. Best of all, these delightful characters are all about reusing and recycling materials to make fun playtime activities rather than buying new, which sends an important environmental message to instill in future generations. The book is designed for ages four to eight and up, and also connects to an interactive website with lots more crafting ideas to follow up on.

Author Maria Vergara has created a really helpful book that delivers more than one purpose. In the first instance, the tale is a fun storytime adventure for independent readers (or family read-along fans) to enjoy, with lovely illustrations and cute characters. From here, though, the real adventure begins, as Vergara suggests some fantastic uses for everyday items that can be upcycled and will provide hours of crafting entertainment. One of the things which I particularly loved about the book was its bright spirit, and the commitment of the author to instill positive thoughts like kindness, sharing, creativity, and care for the planet into the wording and ethos of the work. The emphasis on engaging with imagination was also key and written in a really empowering way. Overall, I would highly recommend Meet The Wolols: Welcome To Wololand to parents, teachers, and caregivers alike.
