"The perfect picture book for anyone longing to set free their confidence."
A little girl embraces the wildness within to set free her courage in this inspiring, beautifully illustrated picture book, peek-through pages and pop-ups taking us into the heart of her world.
“Sometimes I feel too quiet. Too small. Too afraid,” she says, but she can still hear the call of the wild, represented by the tiger’s tail we can spy through the window. She can hear the tiger calling and decides to push open the door, and follow it through her garden, which turns wilder with every step.
By the time she meets the tiger, she’s ready to “ROAR” – a lovely pop-up transforming her from quiet to fierce in an instant. No longer afraid, she joins the tiger to explore the jungle, a lovely image showing the two of them side by side on a tree branch in the moonlight.
Michelle Beech’s illustrations of a leafy, green garden gradually becoming a moonlit jungle are full of a sense of wonder and magic, and her little protagonist grows in confidence and happiness before our eyes. The cut-through pages and gatefolds make the story even more immersive. It’s a book that will be enjoyed by everyone but that will have a particular resonance to anyone who wishes they could be a bit bolder, as will Tiger Don’t Worry by Daishu Ma, from the same publisher.
Sometimes I feel too quiet. Too small. Too afraid. But sometimes I dream . . . I hear the call of the wild.
