About This Book
A parent might reach for this book to nurture a child's budding curiosity about the natural world or to encourage a gentle appreciation for nature in their own backyard. It's a wonderful, quiet story about a young girl who visits her older friend, Miss Emma. As they explore the wonderfully untamed garden, the girl asks about the various creatures that live there, from rabbits to bees. The story culminates in a sweet reveal that the most special "wild creature" is the exuberant little girl herself. Filled with themes of gentle wonder, joy, and warm intergenerational friendship, it's a perfect choice for preschoolers. It beautifully models how to observe and respect nature while affirming a child's own place within it.
