"A house is not a home for wild things;wild things need to run, and soar, and swim."In the quiet dawn of the spring forest a boy finds an orphan fawn, hungry and alone. He carefully carries her home, caring for her while she grows strong. The boy and the fawn become inseparable. But the young deer is a wild thing and soon she is ready to discover a home of her own. When a big storm threatens, the boy worries for the young deer. Can the friends find each other again? Are some bonds stronger than goodbye? Lyrical and atmospheric, this beautiful picture book by award-winning author Louise Greig and illustrator Júlia Moscardó is an uplifting story of belonging, the enduring connection between humans and nature, and a tender lesson in learning when to let go.
