Title: “A Way with Wild Things” 

Author: Larissa Theule 

Illustrator: Sara Palacios 

Reading Level: 3-6–year–olds 

So many people, including myself, are social butterflies; however, many people enjoy staying in the background – just like Poppy.  

Poppy’s family calls her a wallflower, but her lovely grandmother calls her a wildflower. Poppy is a master at blending into her surroundings. She loves nature and all kinds of little creatures she befriends.  

Poppy is introverted and flows to the beat of her own drum. That is what makes her so special.  

It’s OK to be a wildflower. It’s OK to have different interests and hobbies.  

This book includes a wonderful illustrated glossary of bug friends for children to learn to identify them and their purpose. 

This is a brand–new book at the library!
