Believe in Your Own Magic! 


High on the Rock of Gibraltar, hidden beyond the winding trails and ancient stones, is a magical woodland that appears only to those who need it. 

Sunny Sun Dog loves rolling in the grass, chasing butterflies, and wagging his tail. But one day, he starts comparing himself to the soaring birds, the clever Gibraltar monkeys, and the colourful flowers around him. Sunny begins to wonder... is being himself really enough? 

Luckily, his dear friend Sheepito is always ready to listen, share a hug, and offer hot chocolate. With Sheepito’s kindness and warmth, Sunny discovers the sparkle in his eyes, the kindness in his heart, and the magic he brings—just by being himself. 

Full of love, cosy moments, and a sprinkle of magic, this heart-warming story reminds us all (kids and grown-ups alike) that the best thing you can be, is YOU! 


What makes YOU unique? Join Sunny and Sheepito to celebrate it!
