Author Tonya Williams Turns Life on Her Wisconsin Ranch Into Children’s Book, “The Adventures of Loki and Friends”

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Tonya Williams has released "The Adventures of Loki and Friends," a children’s book told from the perspective of a rescue puppy who finds a home on a working ranch full of animals. The book is published through Christian Faith Publishing.

The story is narrated by Loki, a stray from Texas who is taken in by a couple and brought to a farm where he meets dogs, goats, horses, cattle, potbellied pigs, and a donkey named Amos who becomes his closest friend. According to the book’s publisher description, each animal carries its own backstory, and Loki’s arrival becomes part of a larger narrative about belonging and gratitude.

Williams draws on her own experience running Never Done Ranch, a 200-acre property in Eagle, Wisconsin, where she and her husband raise cattle, horses, goats and other livestock alongside their pets. In the announcement, she said animals have been "God’s instrument" in teaching her about love, forgiveness and purpose, and that she wanted Loki’s story to show children that pets are "teachers of the heart."

The book is framed by its publisher as rooted in spiritual values, exploring the intersecting topics of prayers answered, genuine friendships, and the spiritual connection linking people with their animal companions. It’s marketed to young readers and their families, and is listed for sale through major booksellers including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Apple Books and Google Play.

Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a steady lane in children’s publishing: real-farm life repackaged as a gentle animal narrator story, aimed squarely at families looking for faith-based reading material rather than a wide commercial audience.
