A picture book of great beauty and hope about the power we have to
transform our world. On a mean street in a mean city, a thief tries
to snatch an old woman's bag. But she finds she can't have it
without promising something in return - to "plant them all". When
it turns out the bag is full of acorns, the young thief embarks on
a journey that changes her own life and the lives of others for
generations to come. Inspired by the belief that a relationship
with nature is essential to every human being, and that now, more
than ever, we need to renew that relationship, The Promise is the
story of a magical discovery that will touch the heart and
imagination of every reader, young and old. With poignant
simplicity, honesty and lyricism, Nicola Davies evokes a powerful
vision of a world where people and nature live in harmony. And
Laura Carlin's delicate illustrations capture a young girl's
journey from a harsh, urban reality to the beauty and vitality of a
changed world.

From the bestselling author and rewilding pioneer Isabella Tree,
When We Went Wild is a heartwarming, sustainably printed picture
book about the benefits of letting nature take the lead, inspired
by real-life rewilding projects. Nancy and Jake are farmers. They
raise their cows and pigs, and grow their crops. They use a lot of
big machines to help them, and spray a lot of chemicals to get rid
of the weeds and the pests. That's what all good farmers do, isn't
it? And yet, there is no wildlife living on their farm. The animals
look sad. Even the trees look sad! One day, Nancy has an idea...
what if they stopped using all the machines, and all the chemicals,
and instead they went wild? The author's own experience of
rewilding her estate at Knepp has influenced conservation
techniques around the world that are bringing nature back to the
countryside and bringing threatened species back from the brink.
