“Once upon our time, somewhere not far away, was the Wild…”
The Book Fairies are delighted to have been joined recently by author and illustrator Yuval Zommer to share copies of The Wild by in beautiful locations!
We explored a natural park run by the London Wildlife Trust to take some pics and videos – and as it was a soggy day, we relocated the books to dry and sheltered spots!
About the book:
The creator of The Big Book of series weaves a thoughtful and gently powerful picture book tale about the importance of preserving the natural world, rich in his gorgeously distinctive illustrations.
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 what they needed, but when they started to take more, the Wild suffered. For the Wild to be healthy, someone must be brave enough to raise their voice…
Yuval Zommer’s lyrical modern fable has a hopeful and powerful message about how our environment needs us just as much as we need it.
