The New York Times bestselling author illustrator of The Wonderful Things You Will Be creates an enchanting picture book about a child finding their "wild" self.

What would you do if you let the wild in?

Eleanor loved wild things.
Every wing and wild sprout.

There was something wild inside of her,
waiting to come out...

With gorgeous illustrations, this book is the ideal addition to any bedtime reading routine or read aloud. The Wildest Thing beautifully expresses a timeless message about little ones unleashing their inner "wild" and encouraging their budding imagination and unique individuality.
