Wild Child by L. Plourde, Lynn Plourde

4.0

Wild Child caught my eye on display at the library. The cover is a catching, warm illustration of a girl clothed in leaves being raised in the air. All the illustrations throughout the book were luscious and added so much to the story. Rolling hills became the hips of Mother Earth, her hair is a waterfall. The integration of Mother Earth and WIld Child into the natural background was what made me fall in love with this picture book. The spectacular use of color and texture certainly added to it. The story itself was sweet - a child not wanting to go to bed - and the rhyme and rhythm of the words was very pleasant.
