Making room for a child’s wild side

Eleanor is fascinated by wild things, from wings to growing sprouts, while sensing something untamed within herself. That premise gives this picture book a child-sized way into imagination and individuality: the “wild” is presented as something to discover and express. The book’s focus on a young child’s inner world makes it suited to sharing aloud, with illustrations forming part of the experience.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Families sharing picture books with children ages 4–8
  • Children who enjoy stories about imagination, nature, and self-expression
  • Adults seeking an aloud or bedtime book about individuality
