Shortlisted for The Wainwright Prize for Nature and Conservation Writing for Children

Illustrated with lino prints and watercolours by Angela Harding, this beautiful gift book is the perfect inspirational read for a new generation of re-wilders. It tells the story of a remarkable experiment: the rewilding of the Knepp Estate in West Sussex with spreads featuring species that have returned to thrive including butterflies, bats, owls and beetles. There are accessible in-garden activities to 're-wild' your own space, and encouragement to young readers to slow down, observe the natural world around them, and start to understand the connections between species and habitats, and the huge potential for life right on their doorstep.
