In playful, humourous and exciting stories with richly detailed and bucolic illustrations by Emily Hughes, world-renowned storyteller Atinuke draws on her own experience of building and living in a round house to create a truly magical sense of place. An unforgettable children's book perfect for newly independent readers to immerse themselves in and embrace the natural world.

You cannot tame something so happily wild. In this beautiful picture book by Hawaiian artist Emily Hughes, we meet a little girl who has known nothing but nature from birth - she was taught to talk by birds, to eat by bears, and to play by foxes. She is unashamedly, irrefutably, irrepressibly wild.
