There was once a little gardener and his garden meant everything to him. He worked hard, very hard, but he was just too little (or at least he felt he was).
Emily Hughes was born in Hawaii, USA but lives and works in the
United Kingdom. She is inspired by Chinese cinema and illustrators
such as Blair Lent and Gyo Fujikawa. Her work has been exhibited
across the capital and her book Nana Shaped Like a Banana came
second in the 2012 Macmillan Prize for Children's Picture Books.
Her first picture has been highly successful in bookshops and
libraries across the US and UK.
In her debut picture book Emily Hughes brings an uncanny wit to
beautiful drawings awash with colour and atmosphere. It is filled
with a stunning visual splendour to enchant children and humour
their wilder tendencies. Wild is a 21st century answer to Maurice
Sendak's children's classic with the same inventiveness,
ground-breaking art and unmissable quirkiness.
It is a great book to make us reflect about what is really
important in life and how do we nourish the love for these
things.
