The brand new paperback edition of Emily Hughes‘ picture book is finally here! Wild is the story of a little girl who has known nothing but nature from birth. Bears taught her to eat, birds to speak, foxes to play; she is unabashedly, irrefutably, irrepressibly Wild.

That is, until one day she meets a new animal that looks oddly like her…

Filled with inventiveness, groundbreaking art and unmissable quirkiness, Emily’s work is a beautiful amalgam of Sendak and Scarry’s best qualities with a unique and fresh twist for a new generation. Hughes is a natural storyteller and her debut is a beautifully crafted story; one to hand down through the generations.
