Rewild

A wildly beautiful collaboration. Breathtaking illustrations, melodic words and an uplifting message. – Bryony 

With language, art, science and community, we shaped the world – and ourselves. For a time, we lived in harmony with nature. But, as cities grew and industries spread, nature was pushed aside.

Forests fell, the air thickened, seas were plundered and money was mistaken for happiness. The balance between people and planet was lost. But this vast human story is not a tale of despair: at its heart is a turning point.

A new generation of children see clearly what has been lost – and can also see what could still be saved. Children with wheelbarrows and seeds begin the work to rewild and repair. Zephaniah’s distinctive voice and Emily Sutton’s richly imagined artwork invite young readers to understand the past, confront the present, and believe in their power to shape a better future.

It celebrates nature not as something separate from us, but as something we belong to – and are responsible for. This is a book about humility, possibility, and action. A book that honours the wisdom of children.

A book that asks us all to breathe in, look again and rewild the world – together.
