“No one remembered how she came to the woods, but all knew it was right.” A green-haired baby smiles contentedly on a forest floor as a bear, bird, and fox look on. It is all well and good for some to find a happy medium between chaos and order but for some kids chaos is clearly MUCH more appealing! Following just one girl from her path from nature to the city and back again, it has a different lesson in mind. Tiger Goes Wild talk about the need in every child for order as well as wild uninhibited freedom. You might even argue that the BEST children’s books touch on this in some way ( Where the Wild Things Are being the most obvious example). There also exist in this world picture books that touch on this restrained/free duality. A wild, untamable creature that will emerge without fail at the worst possible moments, rendering its parents helpless and hopeless all in one swoop.
