Jonny and Penelope paddling a red canoe at sunset on the Wildwood lake

For our lake neighbours

The Wildwood Lake Community

Jonny & Penelope's adventures are inspired by real summers at a real lake: the dock, the swim mat, the freezies, the fireworks and the friends who make it home.

Written for the families who share our lake

Every book is a little thank-you to the cottage families, grandparents and kids who spend their summers here. If you spot your favourite dock, the clubhouse or the playground in the pictures, that's no accident!

Mister 63 wrote these stories so little ones can learn lake safety, kindness and respect for nature in the place they love most.
