Official press release for Teressa L. Diggs
Teressa L. Diggs introduces young readers to a whimsical tale of curiosity, storytelling, and the shy magic hidden near cranberry bogs.
New York, NY, February 15, 2026. In Heather, Davy, and the Marshwiggle, author Teressa L. Diggs invites young readers into a tender and imaginative world shaped by family stories and rural charm. This enchanting tale follows two siblings whose love of fantasy leads them on an adventure that blurs the line between make-believe and possibility.
Heather and Davy cherish the moments spent listening to their beloved Grandee, whose stories transport them beyond the ordinary. Their favorite tale centers on the Marshwiggles, shy little creatures said to live in hidden villages near the cranberry bogs of the Pennsylvania countryside. According to Grandee, the Marshwiggles avoid humans and guard their privacy carefully, appearing only in fleeting glimpses.
Curiosity soon outweighs caution. Determined to see the Marshwiggles for themselves, Heather and Davy venture into the countryside with hopeful hearts and wide eyes. When a sudden glimpse of golden lashes appears before vanishing into the brush, the children realize that some magic may be real after all.
The book celebrates imagination, shared stories, and the bond between grandparents and grandchildren. Grandee’s storytelling becomes the spark that ignites curiosity, courage, and creativity.
