Time Is Wild: The Life Cycles of Animals and You

Release date: Sept. 15 2026
Did you know elephants are pregnant for two years? Or that baby giraffes learn to walk in less than an hour?

What about tardigrades, microscopic water animals that can go as long as 30 years without eating or drinking? Time matters at every stage in an animal’s life, whether it’s moving, eating, cleaning, growing or pooping. Time Is Wild explores the concept of time through the lives of wild animals. Filled with fun facts and colorful illustrations, young readers can relate time to their own families, communities, habits and life cycles, and learn that every creature has its own perfect timeline.
