Celebrate the wonder of the natural world in this lyrical picture book ode to the wilderness.

You may fall in love
with its wildness,
its strangeness.

How can you not love
something so beautiful?

But loving wild things
can break your heart.
They belong to the wide world,
not to us.

Prolific picture book creators Deborah Underwood and Kenard Pak unite in this poetic love letter to the great outdoors. Whether a flower or a bird, a blade of grass or a chipmunk––the world is full of wild things for us to marvel at and learn from. With lush illustrations and spare text, this is a must-have for every bookshelf.
