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.

Magazine Tiger and Cat are the best of friends. So, when Tiger has
to go away to Tiger camp to earn his stripes, not for a few hours,
