Shortlisted for The Wainwright Prize for Nature and Conservation
Writing for Children 2022 Shortlisted for the Edward Stanford
Children's Travel Book of the Year 2022 Join the brilliant Dara
McAnulty, winner of the Wainwright Prize for Diary of a Young
Naturalist, as he takes you on a nature walk to share in the joy of
connecting with the natural world on your multi sensory journey
starting just beyond your own front door. Wild Child: A Journey
Through Nature is a beautiful gift book, illustrated in full colour
by Barry Falls, and divided into five chapters: looking out of the
window, venturing out into the garden, walking in the woods,
investigating heathland and wandering on the river bank. Dara
pauses to tell you about each habitat and provides fantastic facts
about the native birds, animals and plants you will find there -
including wrens, blackbirds, butterflies, tadpoles, bluebells,
bees, hen harriers, otters, dandelions, oak trees and many, many
more. Each chapter contains a discovery section where you will get
a closer look at natural phenomena such as metamorphoses and
migration, learn about categorization in the animal kingdom or
become an expert on the collective nouns for birds. Every chapter
ends with an activity to do when you get home - you will be shown
how to make a bird feeder, try pond dipping, make a journey stick
and build a terrarium and more. Dara closes the book with his own
inspirational advice for young conservationists. This is the
perfect guide for an aspiring naturalist.
'A call to arms for the next generation of eco-warriors, full of
practical ideas and activities to encourage wildlife and a love of
the natural world' - The Bookseller 'This is my pledge, my promise,
my vow, Lasting forever, starting now: I'll be a friend to nature.'
An illustrated book celebrating the natural world and ways to
appreciate it, filled with practical activities and ideas to help
wildlife and the environment on your doorstep and worldwide.
Starting with a pledge in poetic form, this book is a call to arms
for the next generation of peaceful eco warriors. Broken down into
sections of activities, each lyrically relates back to the metaphor
of being a friend to nature. The activities themselves are short,
easy, and fun, with a few more extensive projects mixed in. These
are interspersed with nature quotes, poetry, and other
thought-provoking musings, as well as pieces of simple non-fiction
information, such as the life cycle of a frog, a butterfly, a cross
section of a flowering plant, and why you should always wish on a
dandelion clock. The final section explores what nature can give
back to us in turn; that if we look after the natural world, we
will always have a friend in nature - a space to be calm, to pause
and think, to recharge, to bring us joy, amusement, and health.
This special book asks children a simple question: How Can We Be
Kind? The answer is: by learning from the animal kingdom! Animals
demonstrate kindness and empathy towards each other, and care and
compassion can be seen all throughout the natural world. This book
shows children the ways they can be kind just like animalsare to
each other, while at the same time teaching them about the magic
and the beauty of the natural world. They can learn to be welcoming
like capybaras, who let other animals sit on top of them while they
wallow in mud. Or perhaps they might want to be like dolphins, who
guide other species to their destinations. Or maybe they would like
to work together like ants and bees, share what they have like
jackdaws or stick up for their friends like zebras. With beautiful
illustrations from Darla Okada, this beautiful picture book will
enchant and entertain children time and time again. There are facts
at the back about how each animal lives with and looks after its
fellow creatures. This sweet and thoughtful book is both a
celebration of the animal world and a manifesto for being kind in
everyday life.
Set over a 24-hour period, meet speedy ostriches, tiny
hummingbirds, and majestic eagles in this kids' non-fiction book
about the coolest birds in the world. Soar through the skies to
follow the lives of our feathered friends as they fight, dance, and
play their way through their day. Ornithologist Dr Alex Bond tells
the story of the world's most amazing birds in the style of a
nature documentary - from the dawn chorus to a barn owl hunting at
dusk. Inside, you'll also witness a bald eagle on a fishing trip,
pink flamingos dancing to impress potential mates, and some of the
most amazing nests in the world.
