Dear Wild Child: You Carry Your Home Inside You

This beautiful and moving picture book is inspired by a letter from a father to his daughter about wildfire, loss, and learning that we carry our homes inside us wherever we go. In the shade of ancient redwood trees by a creek not far from the ocean, a father builds a house for his newborn daughter, where she grows up wild and strong in their coastal canyon home. When a wildfire takes back their beloved house, he writes his now-grown daughter a letter telling her it's gone. Inspired by the real letter the author wrote his daughter, this poignant story—written together by father and daughter—is a resilient declaration that a home is more than just wood and stone; it is made of love and can never be taken away. You carry home with you wherever you go. From authors Wallace J.
