This beautiful picture book by Emily Hughes tells a story of a little girl who lives in the wild . The birds taught her to speak and the foxes taught her how to play. The little girl is so wild and free. Until one day she meets two new animals that look strangely like her.

The illustrations in this book are vibrant and full of life. The detail in the book is stunning with lots of things for children to engage with in the illustrations, such as all the little flowers, birds and beautiful plants.  The colours within the book are vibrant with lots of yellows and greens to capture a wonderfully wild place.

The characters within the book are engaging and children will love the animals such as the bears and foxes. The pages are detailed with lovely double page spreads that capture your attention and are just beautiful too look at. There is lots to look at on the pages that will keep little ones interested and the characters have lovely expressions for children to relate to.

The writing and story plot is simple with only a few words on the page, with the illustrations doing most of the communicating and added layers and layers of visual interest and storytelling. The story is thought provoking and is a great book to discus with children. This book is a delightful escape and will appeal to children who love nature and the outdoors.
