    The Wall and the Wild by Christina Dendy

    'The Wall and the Wild,' written by Christina Dendy and beautifully illustrated by Katie Rewse, follows the story of Ana. Ana is a young girl who starts growing her perfect garden at the edge of town. So focussed on growing the best garden, she throws any irregular shoots and uneven seeds over a large wall. As her garden begins to grow and get more and more beautiful, the wild over the wall begins to grow too!

    This 32 page childrens book tells a heartwarming story that embraces biodiversity and allows children to explore the beauty of nature and wildlife. With large colourful illustrations, this book makes for a fun and exciting read for young children. A lovely bedtime story to get cosy with.

Such a beautiful book

This is such a lovely story, Matthew loves gardening and was instantly drawn to this book. The illustrations are just beautiful. He also loves a puzzler story.. as he calls them, when your trying to figure out why the flowers are not growing. It took him a little while to read but I think that’s because he was just looking at the pages and the drawings and what was going on each page. At the end there is also a lovely “Did you know?” Section and it was lovely to have some facts about how many species of plants and insects too. Matthew was learning about ecosystems in school before Christmas, so while we were discussing the story he was always drawn back to what he was learning in school which is great

Beautiful book!

My daughter (aged 3) and I loved this book and have read it many times since it arrived. The illustrations are beautiful and the story is one that we will come back to over the years with an important message on biodiversity and the beauty in imperfection.
Previous reviews have already mentioned the plot of the book but I wanted to add that the main character Ana wears hearing aids which i actually hadn’t noticed at first, my daughter asked what was in her ears. This made me love the book even more, as it naturally enabled an important conversation with my daughter. This book is inclusive, diverse and beautiful!

Wild and Free

Perfection is overrated, things flourish when they're allowed to grow wild and free. Obviously this isn't just a book about flowers, it's represents so much more than that and is a fabulous concept to share with young children.

Beautifully illustrated and cleverly written, this book is really quite lovely and my wee man spotted the main character had hearing aids like his friend and thought that was really cool because he'd not seen that represented in a book before!

Beautiful story

Ana is trying to create the perfect garden using only the most perfect seeds and discarding any she deemed to be imperfect into the wild and creating a boundary between her perfect garden and the imperfect wild, however she starts to notice that there is something wrong with her garden.
It is a wonderful story about accepting the imperfections in life and how they can be more beautiful than perfection, so not everything in life needs to be perfect.
The Illustrations are lovely and engaging, both myself and my son enjoyed this book and we will no doubt read it again and again.

A lovely colourful book with a great story

This is a beautifully illustrated book, with a lovely heart warming story about how there's beauty in the imperfect. My 6yr old loved reading this to her little sister, who enjoyed pointing at all the pictures and colours. It's a great book either for children to read independently or to have an adult read as the text is easy to understand and the beautiful illustrations complement it really well. It also has a great message about how difficult it can be to be 'perfect' and that sometimes it's the imperfect things which are the most beautiful, which can be talked about further. We really enjoyed this one!
