A Way with Wild Things by Larissa Theule - ESSENTIAL


A Way with Wild Things by Larissa Theule, illustrated by Sara Palacios.  PICTURE BOOK Bloomsbury, 2020.  $18.  9781681190396  

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) – ESSENTIAL  

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE  

Poppy loves nature and insects.  She feels at home with bugs but feels like a wallflower around people.  When Poppy’s grandmother has a birthday party, Poppy tries to stay quiet and hidden, but when a dragonfly lands in Poppy’s hands everyone starts to pay attention to her.  Poppy decides that she doesn’t need to be a wallflower but can be a wildflower.  

The best part of this book is the adorable illustrations.  Poppy is so cute with her big glasses and all the ways she blends into the scenery.  There is also the lovely message of having a passion and sharing it with others and how that passion is a part of who you are.  Great for introvert children.  

Reviewer, C. Peterson
