When We Went Wild

From the best-selling 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 insteadthey went wild? The author?s own experience of rewilding her estate at Knepp in West Sussex, England, has influenced conservation techniques around the world that arebringing nature back to the countryside andbringing threatened species back from the brink.Ivy Kids brings you beautiful, sustainably printedbooks to rewild your child.
