There are some days when Minnow wakes up and she feels wild. She roars as she
dances and shrieks as she prances – she’s a wonderful, tremendous party of wild! But
sometimes people aren’t fond of this wild Minnow ...
So Minnow tries something different and sees that being wild can be more than just
being loud, fierce and proud. It's also wild to be gentle, thoughtful, funny and sweet –
and the wildest thing of all is being true to who you are.
Bursting with energy and color, Wild Child is the perfect read-aloud for kids who love
animals and letting their imagination run wild!

"Long ago, when giants lived in Scotland and Ireland, they stood so
tall they could see clearly across the wide water between the two
lands." One day, Irish giant Finn McCool spots Scottish giant
Benandonner across the sea and they immediately begin arguing about
who is the best giant of all. Despite the wise advice of Finn's
wife Oona, they decide the only way to settle their feud is to
fight. But to meet, the daft and boastful giants must first build a
causeway across the water... Inspired by Celtic folklore,
best-selling Scottish children's author and storyteller Lari Don
weaves a tall tale of rivalry and foolishness that recounts the
origins of Northern Ireland's world-famous Giant's Causeway and its
connection to Scotland's Isle of Staffa. Emilie Gill's
light-hearted, characterful illustrations of the legendary giants
will captivate young children.
Once upon a time in Scotland, a young prince had lost his smile. It
seemed nothing could raise a smile from Prince Donald, not the
baker's treats or the bard's songs. The court magician tried to
make a new magical beast for the prince, but it was so awkward he
let it go. Hana, the magician's granddaughter, was still determined
to help Donald. Using her grandfather's magic, she invented a
majestic creature with the body of a horse and the horn of a
gazelle, and called him 'a unicorn'. Hana and Donald playfully
chase the unicorn through the forest, and it seems that this
magical animal might hold the key to the prince's smile. But then
they discover a darker beast, lurking in the trees. The unicorn,
magical and strong, is Scotland's national animal and heraldic
symbol. Renowned Scottish children's author and storyteller Lari
Don weaves an enchanting tale, inspired by local folklore, about
the origins of the unicorn. A perfect companion to bestselling
picture book The Treasure of the Loch Ness Monster, this stunning
and authentic tale is atmospherically brought to life by Nata a
Ilincic's rich illustrations, and is destined to become a classic.
