From one of our most beloved poets, Benjamin Zephaniah, and bestselling illustrator Emily Sutton comes this powerful and uplifting book for children - an urgent, hopeful call to restore our relationship with Earth, and rewild our future.
In the beginning, the land was bare. Humanity rose, learned to speak, to farm, to build, to imagine. With language, art, science and community, we shaped the world - and ourselves. For a time, we lived in harmony with nature.
But, as cities grew and industries spread, nature was pushed aside. Forests fell, the air thickened, seas were plundered and money was mistaken for happiness. The balance between people and planet was lost.
But this vast human story is not a tale of despair: at its heart is a turning point.
A new generation of children see clearly what has been lost - and can also see what could still be saved. Children with wheelbarrows and seeds begin the work to rewild and repair.
Zephaniah's distinctive voice and Emily Sutton's richly imagined artwork invite young readers to understand the past, confront the present, and believe in their power to shape a better future. It celebrates nature not as something separate from us, but as something we belong to - and are responsible for.
This is a book about humility, possibility, and action.
A book that honours the wisdom of children.
A book that asks us all to breathe in, look again and rewild the world - together.

About the Author
Dr Benjamin Obadiah Iqbal Zephaniah was born and raised in Birmingham, England. He began performing poetry in his early teenage years, and left school aged 13. Benjamin Zephaniah published his first book, Pen Rhythm, at the age of 22 and over the next four decades, he wrote 13 poetry collections, six novels, five children's books and seven plays. His first book of poetry for children, Talking Turkeys, went to the top of the children's book list and stayed there for months. He has sixteen honorary doctorates and the Eailing Hospital in west London has named a wing after him in recognition of his work. Benjamin was passionate about issues that were both global and local, and his work focused on themes such as human rights and protecting the environment. He was widely considered to be among the first poets to address the climate crisis.
Raised in the beautiful North Yorkshire countryside, Emily Sutton has become a true icon of modern-day illustration. She started her artistic career at the reputable Edinburgh College of Art, Emily's childhood obsessions were soon brought to life; it was here that her vast and detailed world of curiosities, Victoriana and rosy-cheeked children were born. Sutton's other titles with Magic Cat include her critically acclaimed collaboration with Robert Macfarlane and Johnny Flynn, The World to Come.
