Wild Things of the Upstate is an A to Z illustrated children’s book guiding readers through 26 plants and animals that call this region of South Carolina their home. Written for ages 3–7, Wild Things offers an easy pathway for young minds to discover the plants, animals, insects, and fungi found in Upstate outdoor spaces, public parks, and even our own backyards. From American toad to zebra swallowtail, the book aims to educate children about the native wildlife around them and to inspire a passion for making room for our natural neighbors. 

The book also includes a glossary with more in-depth information about each wild thing, and a list of resources for further reading and outdoor exploration.

Lovely Book

My family and I are so happy with this book, featuring the beauty and diversity in our very own neck-of-the-woods, Upstate SC. From the compelling illustrations to the fun rhyming text to the extras at the end (glossary, list of websites and organizations for further reading, outdoor exploration guide), it’s clear that a lot of love was poured into making this book. We’ll keep it forever.

Adorably educational

We love this absolutely stunning book! The illustrations are gorgeous and as local gardeners ourselves, we love seeing an emphasis on native plants (and animals). It is a joy to read and I can fully see it growing with my son as he gets older and can start searching for the creatures in the book. 10/10 stars!

Beautiful and informative!

Wild Things of the Upstate reads like a beautiful trivia deck! Illustrations are excellent, layout gets a chef's kiss from a graphic design nerd like me, and sewn hardback binding feels made to last a long time. I loved buying an indie-made gem that's not disposable and anyone in my house would enjoy :)
