Dear Wild Child Av Wallace Nichols, Wallace Grayce Nichols

<B>This beautiful and moving picture book is inspired by a letter from a father to his daughter about wildfire, loss, and learning that we carry our homes inside us wherever we go.</B><BR/><BR/> In the shade of ancient redwood trees by a creek not far from the ocean, a father builds a house for his newborn daughter, where she grows up wild and strong in their coastal canyon home. When a wildfire takes back their beloved house, he writes his now-grown daughter a letter telling her it’s gone.<BR/><BR/> Inspired by the real letter the author wrote his daughter, this poignant story—written together by father and daughter—is a resilient declaration that a home is more than just wood and stone; it is made of love and can never be taken away.<BR/><BR/> You carry home with you wherever you go.<BR/><BR/> From authors Wallace J. Nichols and Wallace Grayce Nichols and illustrator Drew Beckmeyer, <I>Dear Wild Child</I> is "a touching sentiment that reminds readers of all ages that our lives are defined not by our material possessions but by the memories we make. . . Intricate and emotional." <I>(Kirkus)<BR/><BR/> Includes a note from the authors on climate change</I>
