Daisy Rewilds - Hardcover
by Margaret McNamara (Author), Kerascoët (Illustrator)
A young, curious, science-loving environmentalist named Daisy proves to her community the importance of conservation in this whimsical and hopeful story.
Daisy was born with a green thumb. As an infant, she composted her own baby food. As a toddler, she slept on a bed of leaves. Now she's embarking on her most important experiment: she'll plant herself on her manicured front lawn, stay put, and let nature take over. What happens is a blooming miracle. With a little help from expert gardener Auntie Betsy, Daisy thrives. Sunflowers grow in her hair, moss grows between her toes, hummingbirds buzz in her bee balm. Soon Daisy's front yard is a haven for native grasses and flowers, for pollinating insects, for birds, even for lowly worms. And that's when her real work begins. In this funny and whimsical story about restoring natural habitats, one tenacious girl passionately leads her own conservation efforts, helping the land heal itself, and teaching her community about the importance of nurturing wild places.Margaret McNamara is the author of the perennially popular Mr. Tiffin's Classroom series which includes How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin?, which was awarded the Christopher Medal, and The Dinosaur Expert, which received three starred reviews.
