Description

A lyrical read-aloud filled with vibrant illustrations that follows a group of children as they explore their relationship with the natural world--from insects to dandelions to playing in the mud. This picture book based on a popular poem is a joyful celebration of the ability children have to cherish all living things.

Exuberant and imaginative, this picture book celebrates the mess makers, scavengers of the dirt, and kids who march to the beat of their own drum. Follow along with these children as they experience the joy of playing in the mud, dangling from tree limbs, and watching spiderlings hatch within the wonder of their intricate webs.

From debut author Nicolette Sowder comes this poetic picture book for kids who are curious learners who are filled with energy, and prefer to experience the world with all their senses. With dreamy illustrations by Myo Yim, Wilder Child beckons readers to see beauty in the untamed, marvel at the wonders of nature, and advocate for all living beings.

About the Author

Nicolette Sowder is the founder of Wilder Child and Wildschooling, both which are dedicated to honoring, supporting, and connecting families who seek to educate and nurture their children through a bond with nature. She is also the creator of the Kids Moon Club program. Her mission is to help families step back into the circle of wild things and find ways to reconnect with Mother Nature. Wilder Child is her first picture book. She lives with her husband and two daughters on their 60-acre farm in Cedar Springs, Michigan.

Myo Yim made her debut as a children's illustrator in South Korea with To the Forest of Night and has since published fifteen picture books abroad, including her first English-written and illustrated picture book Rajah Street. Wilder Child is her first book published in the U.S. Her work has also been featured in popular foreign magazines such as Cosmopolitan Korea and Nylon Korea. Originally from Seoul, she now lives in Byron Bay, Australia with her husband and two boys.
