A book is a magical thing. Like a seed, a book can plant an idea in a young mind; an idea which might grow and flourish, and eventually inspire that reader to change the world. But a book is also a physical thing. It is manufactured, printed and shipped in ways that use energy, and so release carbon into the atmosphere. At Ivy Kids, we had an idea. What if our books didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just tell stories that inspire readers to protect nature and build a better world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; what if the books themselves were a part of that positive change? Our new Ivy Kids list is printed on 100% postconsumer recycled paper, meaning waste is reused instead of going to landfill, and trees are left standing. Each edition is printed locally to the country it will be sold, so transport emissions are greatly reduced. Renewable energy is used to power the presses, and remaining emissions from the production process are offset with forest protection and planting schemes. The leaves of these sustainably-printed books will carry knowledge and stories full of hope, rewilding young minds. Our new Ivy Kids books will celebrate our natural world, without costing the Earth.

When We Went Wild ISABELLA TREE; ILLUSTRATED BY ALLIRA TEE A hopeful story that reveals the benefits of letting nature take over. Nancy and Jake are farmers. They raise their cows and pigs, and grow their crops. They use a lot of big machines to help them, and spray a lot of chemicals to get rid of the weeds and the pests. That's what all good farmers do, isn't it? And yet, there is no wildlife living on their farm. The animals look sad. Even the trees look sad! One day, Nancy has an idea... what if they stopped using all the machines, and all the chemicals, and instead they went wild? Isabella Tree is an award-winning nature and travel author, and conservation pioneer. Her bestselling adult book ‘Wilding - the return of nature to a British farm’ (200,000 copies sold) tells the story of Knepp, the groundbreaking rewilding project in West Sussex that she started with her husband, the environmentalist Charlie Burrell.
