This brilliant debut picture book by Hawaiian author-illustrator Emily Hughes tells the story of a little girl who has known nothing but nature from birth. Bears taught her to eat, birds to speak, foxes to play; she is unabashedly, irrefutably, irrepressiblyWild. That is, until one day she meets a new animal that looks oddly like her...Filled with inventiveness, groundbreaking art and unmissable quirkiness, Emily's work is a beautiful amalgam of Sendak and Scarry's best qualities with a unique and fresh twist for a new generation.

Klappentext
Emily Hughes is a UK based Children's illustrator/author who hails from a little (but lovely) town called Hilo, Hawaii. She earned 2nd place for the Macmillan's Prize for Children's Picture Books in 2012. When not doodling or walking around to come up with a story, she busies herself by reading (adult books and children's books alike, though she prefers the latter), making shopping lists (and regularly forgetting them) and watching dreary films.
