Thanks to Netgalley for this lovely ARC. It had so many beautiful illustrations that I kept going back to them again and again. Beautiful topic, too. Enjoyed reading this with my child.
5 stars.
This is a truly inspiring book with beautiful illustrations. Perfect for children and adults to enjoy together, it's packed full of hopeful real-life stories of rewilding - instances where passionate people have acted in the interests of the planet, helping it and its wildlife to come back from the brink. These stories need to be seen and heard more in both classrooms and homes. Fantastic!
This is a really beautiful book. The artwork is truly stunning. I enjoyed the brief introduction to the concept of rewilding and examples of it occurring across the world. This book did a great job of explaining how important a single species can be to an entire ecosystem. A great addition to children's environmental non-fiction!
I love this book. Cozy and beautiful. :)
It is also educational. This is a book that every parents need to have in their home library.

‘Rewild the World at Bedtime’ written by Emily Hawkins.
My son and I enjoyed reading this as his bedtime story over the course of a few weeks. This book includes 20 bedtime stories about different projects around the world that talk about bringing animals back to the wild. We enjoyed traveling around the world before going to bed. It was interesting to learn of various unique species that are threatened with extinction and the various ways around the world these scenarios are being addressed.

Thank you to the author, Wide Eyed Editions and NetGalley, for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This is a wonderful book for both children and adults, to help understand the global ecosystem and how so many factors influence our natural world. Various projects on all continents and the oceans are presented, each on 4-5 pages, well-researched and highlighting the positive effects of restoration of habitats. The illustrations are very well-done, and encourage the reader to find out more about each project - one of the most hopeful books I can recall reading, highly recommend!
A beautifully illustrated book, including 20 rewilding stories from across the world!
Little nature lovers/wildlife warriors will love travelling the globe, discovering the incredible people fighting to restore the planet to what it once was.
Stopping off at so many places, including The Netherlands, the Iberian Peninsula, Ukraine, Australia, Russia, America, Mozambique, Canada, China, Mauritius, Nepal, Argentina, New Zealand, Norway, Costa Rica and the UK!
This is such a brilliant bedtime book, to travel to places rich with biodiversity thanks to some awesome conservation success stories!
Thank you to NetGalley & Quarto for the DRC!

⚠️This review was written based on personal opinions and experiences with the book. Individual preferences may vary⚠️
Pictures are well done and add a lot to the story. A wide variety of places and animals chosen which is nice. I loved seeing the way different animals have come back. A bit long for a bedtime story. My kids would have demanded I finish the book before they slept and it is a bit wordy.

A lovely collection of stories linked to the natural world with beautiful illustrations. A perfect book for gifting
Beautiful stories and Illustrations! Great to read before bedtime to little ones. My son enjoy the stories and so did I. We love it!
A beautifully illustrated, hopeful and engaging introduction to rewilding projects around the world. Ella Beech's stunning illustrations help create a book that will no doubt be treasured for years to come. A book for budding environmentalists and parents who want to. teach their kids all about the power of conservation.
This book was very pretty and the pictures were lovely. The stories were inspirational and encouraging. I really can’t say enough good things about the illustrations though, they were so pretty, really setting a beautiful mood for the book.
Thank you for the eARC!
as always, wide eyed publications have come up with another beautiful book. I don't think I could ever dislike any of their publications.
I’m pasting the same thing that I said about Floral Folklore, because all that I said there applies to this book as well: When I requested this book, I didn’t realize that it wasn’t accessible via Kindle. I tried to read it through my phone’s NetGalley app, but since my phone is nearly a decade old and has a very small screen, I gave up, because the tiny print was making my headache even worse. It’s a shame, because I think that I would really like this book, if I could access it elsewhere.
Beautiful stories and illustrations about people rewilding their environment. I enjoyed learning about the nature/wildlife and their habitat restoration that I have never known. This will definitely inspire kids to think about what they can do in their neighborhood. Educating and also fun to read.
Books with beautiful illustrations and artwork are just the best! This one is absolutely gorgeous. Not only that, but bringing attention to the sweet animals who are endangered was done beautifully. This is a book that people of all ages should own. It would also make a great gift to the animal/nature loves in your life.
I appreciate the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
