    Here’s what I’d love you to do.


    As your grown up to help you record a voice note. Start with your name, where you live (the country is fine or you can share your city or town) and then your fact and what animal it is about.


    Your amazing voice note will be included in the 50th episode of the wild walk of fame and you’ll get a shout out on the show.


    Once you have your audio recording get your grown up to send it to ruth@blackandwhitebookproject.com or on Instagram @the_wildscoop
