Wilder Child - Hardcover
by Nicolette Sowder (Author), Myo Yim (Illustrator)
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.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.
