Meet Eleanor.
She is a girl who loves the wild, the outdoors and Nature.
A tree is a friend, long grass a sanctuary for bugs and butterflies, and a pool a place to tangle her toes.
Eleanor loves to spend her days outside with creatures big and small and,
…things with fur and fin.
Going to bed one night, she dreams of all she loves, only to wake and find.
…the Wild had come in!
A story of imagination, wonder and the Wild – The Wildest Thing reminded me of a famous picture book with monsters, but with a little girl called Eleanor, instead of a cross boy named Max.
Each book overflows with imagination, strange playmates and their own fantastical world.
This beautifully illustrated hardback picture would make a gorgeous gift…
…for everyone who has ever known they are more than they seem.Â
