A stunning poetry book for kids, celebrating the natural world, illustrated by Diana Catchpole.

Sometimes a book comes along that stops you in your tracks. It is beautiful, intelligent, accessible, deeply moving. Fantastic writing, fantastic art. A book for everyone. - David Almond, author of Skellig

Out There in the Wild celebrates our place in nature. It is packed with poems about everything that lives in the sea and rivers, on land and in the sky. You will meet eagles and skylarks, tigers and elephants, foxes, rabbits and bats, bees and butterflies, and many other natural wonders.

These beautiful poems, written by Nicola Davies, Dom Conlon, and James Carter, invite you to consider how we are connected to the wild. We are all nature after all.

About the Author

Dom Conlon is a poet and author whose first two books were nominated for the Carnegie Medal. Through commissions for the BBC to being a UNESCO world poetry day poet, Dom continues to explore the many ways in which humans interact with and respond to the world around them. Nicola Davies is a writer, producer and presenter of radio and television, including The Really Wild Show. Amongst her many acclaimed books for children are Big Blue Whale, One Tiny Turtle, and Poo which was shortlisted for a Blue Peter Book Award. James Carter is an award-winning children's poet, non-fiction writer and musician. An ambassador for National Poetry Day, he travels all over the UK and abroad with his melodica to give lively, action-packed poetry/music performances, workshops and INSET days. Diana Catchpole is an illustrator and printmaker. She studied book illustration at the Cambridge School of Art and after graduating went on to illustrate children's books. She discovered printmaking in 2015 and the relief technique of linocut became her passion. She lives in Cambridgeshire and takes much of her inspiration from the surrounding countryside and the wild animals that inhabit it.
