This sensitive book aims to open up conversations and help children realise that they don’t have to follow the pack, give them the confidence to do the right thing and stay true to who they really are. Second offering from illustrator Ryan Sonderegger, from the global smash ‘What Wesley Wore’. Talks about peer pressure, toxic masculinity and gang mentality using the metaphor of mild and wild wolves.

Annette Demetriou

Annette grew up in London and is a graduate of the University of Westminster in Graphic Information Design. WILD is her debut children’s picture book. She is beyond thrilled to have been able to share the journey with co-writer Dawn White and Sam Langley-Swain from publishing house Owlet Press – go #TeamWILD. Her mixed heritage background has sparked her enthusiasm for wanting to see and celebrate a wealth of diversity in picture books. Whether it’s a wolf in glasses or a little girl trying to find where she belongs, Annette would like to see every child being able to find themselves in a book and think “that’s just like me!”.
