Miss Prim Goes Wild

Author Katy Rose
Illustrated by Thai My Phuong
A whimsical picture book that follows strict Miss Prim as she learns how nature's wild ways can heal both her yard and her heart--and teaches children how to watch the wild grow in their backyards.

Miss Prim had been called all kinds of things—precise, punctual, and practical. Sometimes even stern, strict, and scary. But never welcoming or whimsical, and certainly not wild. Miss Prim believed in no-nonsense.

But that’s all about to change when her prim and proper yard decides to go wild while she’s away. Aghast at the grass, fuming at the flowers, and batting at birds, her strained efforts wain as the wild wonders work their way into her hard heart, revealing nature's power to heal and restore.

With alliterations that roll off the tongue, whimsical illustrations, and timeless messages, Miss Prim Goes Wild is perfect for under a shady tree. Miss Prim’s change flows into her journal in the back of the book, where she studiously takes notes about the wild ways of nature that she’s come to love, and teaches children how to watch the wild grow in their own back yards.
Katy Rose is an author and fine artist who seeks to inspire parents and children to care for and cultivate a love for nature—a shift that she believes will affect how the next generation stewards the earth. Her writing projects include Lilibet the Brave; contributions to Every Moment Holy, volume 3; and devotions for the Love God Greatly Bible. Katy’s art projects include collaborations with brands, authors, and collectors around the globe. She and her husband live in Texas with their four children.

Thai My Phuong is a Vietnamese illustrator with a deep passion for visual storytelling. She has worked with a number of international publishers, magazines, brands, and universities. Her illustrations have appeared in books around the world, including Gingerbread Dreidels by Jane Breskin Zalben, a picture book edition of L. M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables, America’s Dreaming by Bob McKinnon, and A City Full of Santas by Joanna Ho.
