# Dear Wild Child: You Carry Your Home Inside You - Hardcover

by **Wallace J. Nichols** (Author), **Wallace Grayce Nichols** (Author), **Drew Beckmeyer** (Illustrator)

**A story 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--joyfully declares 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.
