Description

An exquisitely illustrated modern fable about protecting our planet, in which Earth is imagined as a beautiful, precious, and vulnerable creature called the Wild. From the author-illustrator of The Tree That's Meant to Be.

Once upon a time, somewhere not far away, was the Wild. The Wild was huge and giving, and everything from insects to birds to humans made their home in it. At first, people lived lightly and took only what they needed, but when they started to take more, the Wild suffered. But one day, a young child is brave enough to raise their voice . . .

In this environmental story told as a fairy tale, author-illustrator Yuval Zommer shares a hopeful and powerful message of healing, well-being, and humanity's precious and precarious relationship with nature.

The magical artwork and sensitively told story will help families have meaningful conversations with young children about the urgency to protect Earth.

Reviews

"A sweetly told tale." --Kirkus Reviews

"[The] artwork wows with its creaturely personification of the titular scape as a greenery-covered beast who 'stretched from the shallow shore to the deep ocean' and 'always wanted to give.'"--Publishers Weekly
