A whimsical picture book that follows strict Miss Prim as she learns how nature's wild ways can heal both her yard and her heart--and teaches children how to watch the wild grow in their backyards.
Miss Prim had been called all kinds of things--precise, punctual, and practical. Sometimes even stern, strict, and scary. But never welcoming or whimsical, and certainly not wild. Miss Prim believed in no-nonsense. But that's all about to change when her prim and proper yard decides to go wild while she's away. Aghast at the grass, fuming at the flowers, and batting at birds, her strained efforts wain as the wild wonders work their way into her hard heart, revealing nature's power to heal and restore. With alliterations that roll off the tongue, whimsical illustrations, and timeless messages, Miss Prim Goes Wild is perfect for under a shady tree. Miss Prim's change flows into her journal in the back of the book, where she studiously takes notes about the wild ways of nature that she's come to love, and teaches children how to watch the wild grow in their own back yards.Author Biography
