the pond! What is all the commotion about? In each colourful scene,
the family discovers a different sign of spring - a bird collecting

"Gorgeous... a sunlit heat rises off the page, while the story
addresses the changing climate with openness and hope." - Imogen
Russell Williams, The Guardian In this follow-up to Winter Sleep
and Busy Spring, Wild Summer explores nature in summer. The
beautifully-told story follows a young girl and her naturalist
grandpa as they walk down a wild path towards the coast. They spot
amazing plants and animals. She is enchanted by the vibrancy of
life around her, but asks: "Do plants and animals want summer to
last forever?" Young curiosity is combined with old wisdom in a
nature-filled adventure showing a touching relationship between
grandfather and grandchild. He teaches her about challenges facing
the natural world around her, as we explore a meadow, stream,
heathland, fire-charred pine wood, fossil rich cliffs, rocky cove
and ocean life. Filled with fascinating facts and stunning
illustrations, the books in this series encourage children to
discover more about nature and the seasons. Also available from
this series are Winter Sleep and Busy Spring,
