La naturaleza está mucho más cerca de ti de lo que piensas, sólo tienes que saber dónde mirar. ¿Serás capaz de encontrarla? A apenas unos pasos de una boca de metro, una simple hoja captará la atención de unos niños, conduciéndoles a una maravillosa aventura que les alejará de su ciudad para sumergirles en toda la belleza del mundo salvaje. Así descubrirán que la naturaleza está repleta de buenos olores, como el de la menta fresca o el de una recóndita cueva antigua, que lo salvaje puede sentirse en el calor del bosque o en un frío carámbano, que puede ser dulce como las moras o la miel de las abejas y que hace ruido como los truenos o los susurros del viento. Las coloridas y sugerentes ilustraciones de este libro nos avisan de que la vida salvaje no se puede contener, sólo permanece oculta, esperando a que la descubras.

*"Sometimes the most striking picture books are the ones that make readers see something in a new way, or that creatively express a concept regularly pondered but rarely put into words."--Shelf Awareness, starred review

"Lloyd’s sparkling debut celebrates nature through a whimsical meditation on the idea of wildness. Halpin’s lush and delicately detailed mixed-media pictures...dominated by muted greens and blues pull readers into the diverse landscapes the children traverse. A spirit of adventure and exploration runs throughout the book." --Publishers Weekly

A lovely, lyrical picture book with gorgeous illustrations that explores the ways the wild makes itself known to us and how much closer it is than we think.

There are so many places that wild can exist, if only you know where to look! Can you find it? Two kids set off on an adventure away from their urban home and discover all the beauty of the natural world. From the bark on the trees to the sudden storm that moves across the sky to fire and flowers, and snowflakes and fresh fruit. As the children make their way through the woods and back to the paved and noisy streets, they discover that wild exists not just off in some distant place, but right in their own backyard.

Two children explore the parks of their urban environment and discover that they are not as far from nature as they thought.
Ages 5-8

I love the poetic tone this book has. The illustrations are vivid and lovely. I classified this as science related because they are defining what is considered wild. It takes you through all types of environments in the wild and also aspects of the wild found in the city. ( )

Great descriptions of all the kinds of wild ... ( )
