Where the Wild Things Were by Affiliate Professor Susan Goldsworthy, Sydney Goldsworthy (2019) Informed by her work with senior executives who are being influenced by their children and grandchildren on the urgency of the planetary challenges we face, Goldsworthy has released an illustrated story book to generate dialogue and inspire action. Devised as a bedtime story of a grandmother telling her granddaughter about an alphabet of animals she played with when she

was young, ‘Where the Wild Things Were’ aims to entertain and educate, as well as motivate all generations to act together before it’s too late. The book is co-authored and illustrated by artist Sydney Goldsworthy, Susan’s daughter, and is for adults as well as children.
