FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mary Shelie Wilson’s I’d Still Love Your Company Gives Children a Story They Can Read, Feel, and Play With
Now available, the children’s book is gaining attention as a thoughtful choice for parents, grandparents, teachers, and anyone looking for a meaningful story about friendship and belonging.
Silverado, CA – August 28, 2026— Children’s author Mary Shelie Wilson is inviting readers into the charming world of I’d Still Love Your Company, a newly released book that blends a heartfelt friendship story with colorful illustrations and interactive activities designed to keep young readers engaged beyond the final page.
In a market filled with fast-moving children’s entertainment, I’d Still Love Your Company stands out by offering something steady and sincere. The story revolves around a simple, emotionally honest situation: one friend wants company, another friend wonders how that can happen, and both must think about what they can do to make friendship possible.
That gentle lesson is one of the book’s strongest points. Children are not only told that friendship matters; they are shown that friendship involves care, adjustment, and mutual effort. The pig’s willingness to change and the friend’s willingness to help create a message that feels positive, trustworthy, and easy for children to remember.
The book also offers strong visual and activity appeal. The illustrated pages feature a welcoming farm setting with a pig, dog, butterflies, flowers, a cozy little house, and warm outdoor scenes that invite children to slow down and look closely. Activity pages, including word search and puzzle-style content, give young readers a chance to participate in the book rather than simply listen to it.
This combination makes I’d Still Love Your Company a valuable purchase for several audiences. Parents can use it as a bedtime or read-aloud book. Teachers can use it to support conversations about kindness, cooperation, and problem-solving. Grandparents can give it as a thoughtful gift. Librarians and literacy organizers can include it in story-time programming where both message and engagement matter.
“Children deserve books that entertain them and gently strengthen how they see others,” said Mary Shelie Wilson. “This story is about wanting someone near, but it is also about caring enough to make that possible.”
Early readers are often drawn to characters they can recognize emotionally. The pig’s desire for company, the concern about fitting into a small space, and the eventual solution all create a story pattern that children can follow while feeling reassured. The result is a book with reread value — the kind families keep nearby because the message continues to matter.
For anyone looking for a children’s book that is sweet without being forgettable, simple without being empty, and playful without losing its heart, I’d Still Love Your Company is now available.
