The Wall And The Wild
A gorgeously-illustrated story about appreciating wildness in all its forms, showing the importance and joy of gardening.
In a plot of land at the edge of town, Ana grows only perfectly-sized plants and perfect-looking flowers, and throws all the irregular shoots and uneven seeds over the wall into the disorderly Wild. But as her garden gets tidier, neater and more constrained, the Wild begins to grow...
"A sweet, simple story about appreciating wildness in all its forms. This meditation on biodiversity makes its point with grace" -Kirkus Reviews
“In an increasingly stressful world, we follow Ana try to take control by creating a perfect garden only to realise she can only achieve this by accepting the imperfect! This thoughtful tale of embracing biodiversity leaves plenty of room to open up insightful conversations with children into environmental stewardship and the many benefits of rewilding our gardens!” -Ashley Nwokorie, Allotment Cafe
