Wild Summer: Life in the Heat (Seasons in the wild)

Written by Sean Taylor and Alex Morss and Illustrated by Cinyee Chiu

In this follow-up to Winter Sleep and Busy Spring, Wild Summer explores nature in summer.

The beautifully-told story follows a young girl and her naturalist grandpa as they walk down a wild path towards the coast. They spot amazing plants and animals. She is enchanted by the vibrancy of life around her, but asks: “Do plants and animals want summer to last forever?”

Young curiosity is combined with old wisdom in a nature-filled adventure, showing a touching relationship between grandfather and grandchild. He teaches her about challenges facing the natural world around her, as we explore a meadow, stream, heathland, fire-charred pine wood, fossil-rich cliffs, rocky cove, and ocean life.
