Do you hear the beasts scratching at the door? They’ve been sleeping too long, and now they’re getting feisty. Don’t be afraid, they’re pretty lovely inside. And never did I see a more pretty beast than you. Do you ever wonder how to be wild & free again? There is beauty in being a human, too. With a heart to feel, a mind to learn & hands to build extraordinary things. Go forth, fiercely, bravely. Through a mash-up of poetry, fables, comic fiction and whimsical watercolor illustrations, this beautiful book weaves a narrative of how we can all become wild and free again. Looking at life through the eyes of Sloth, Bear, Koala, and even Blob Fish, these animals tell the stories of the raw beauty of life on our planet, encouraging us to let go of fear, stick our fingers/paws up at societal pressure, and accept our beautifully flawed bodies and minds to empower us to love ourselves and one another with abandon.
