![]() Awash with colour and full of atmosphere, it offers visual treats to enchant children and indulge their wilder tendencies.Įmily Hughes was born in Hawaii, USA but lives and works in the United Kingdom. Wild is a 21st century response to Maurice Sendak’s children’s classic, Where the Wild Things Are. There’s no green here, no animals, no trees, no rivers. Now she lives in the comfort of civilisation. But will civilisation get comfortable with her? ![]() She’s puzzled by their behaviour and their insistence to live in these strange concrete structures known as ‘apartments’. That is, until she is snared by some very strange animals that look oddly like her, but they don’t talk right, eat right, or play correctly. In Emily Hughes’ beautiful picture book we meet a little girl who has known nothing but nature from birth – she was taught to talk by birds, to eat by bears and to play by foxes – she is unashamedly, irrefutably, irrepressibly wild. ![]()
