Description
Hettie’s Nettle’s month-by-month guide opens the door on a hidden world—one that only children can see. Full of secrets, top tips, and funny, magical friends, this handbook is an essential guide for imaginative young guardians of nature.
• Learn each month's secret Whisper Name (January's is The Dreaming—shh!)
• Enjoy celebrity interviews with celebrities from the Wild Wood (such the Sun and Jack Frost)
• Help organize the seasonal celebrations of the Wheel of the Year (the wedding of Jack-in-the-Green and the Queen of the May at Beltane is the event of the season!)
• Have fun with the Spell of the Month (make a wish with a dandelion clock charm)
• Enjoy seasonal tales from Flittermouse (Hettie's favourite is The Hare and the Moon!)
Filled with watercolor illustrations from Hettie’s enchanted paintbox and details about the fascinating folk she meets in her daily life, this secret notebook will connect you with the magic that lives inside and around us every day.
Advance Praise
“An utterly beautiful and charming book full of kindness, hope, imagination and reminders that magic is all around us. In a world that's increasingly and alarmingly disconnected from nature, this book is a gentle signpost back to the old ways . . . a treasure and a joy."
– Michelle Harrison, Waterstones' Children's Book Prize winning author of Thirteen Treasures and many other books
"A truly enchanting and magical treasure, this special book is adorned with beautiful illustrations full of charm and detail. The more I read the more I want to step into the Wild Wood and I know that everyone who opens these pages will feel the same. Claire has done such a wonderful job of weaving all these glorious green threads into a guide that any reader, young or old, will adore and pore over.”
– Andy Shepherd, bestselling author of The Boy Who Grew Dragons series and The Wood Where Magic Grows
“This gorgeous book is bursting with gentle humour, heartwarming stories and cool ways to explore and celebrate the natural world. It's such a perfect way to help children understand and connect with nature and open their eyes to a world of imagination, folklore, kindness and magic. Completely enchanting. Every child (and adult!) needs this book!”
– Cathy Cassidy, bestselling author of the Chocolate Box Girls series & much more
