수많은 어린이 그림책과 동화책의 저자이며, 아울러 저명한 작곡가 겸 가수인 사라 윅스의 작품입니다. 국내에는 "내가 만약 사자라면"이라는 제목으로 번역서가 출간된 명작그림책입니다.
내가 온통 바닥을 어지럽혀 놓자, 엄마는 나에게 벌칙의자에 앉아있어야 하는 벌을 내렸어요. 엄마는 내가 거칠게 행동한다고 말씀하시네요. (You're wild)
내가 야생동물(Wild)이라구요?
내가요?
정말 어처구니 없네요.
어떻게 나에게 Wild("거칠다"와 "야생동물"이라는 두가지 의미를 지니고 있습니다.)라는 단어를 사용할 수 있죠?
난 사자처럼 사납지 않은 걸요. 내가 만약 사자라면 으르렁거리면서 그릇을 내던지고, 고양이의 털이 뾰죽 솟아 오르도록 겁을 줬을 거예요. 하지만 나는 그런 짓을 하지 않아요.
이 책의 주인공인 어린 소녀는 이런 식으로 사자, 곰, 늑대, 개구리, 악어, 너구리, 산양, 범고래, 코뿔소, 호랑이, 올빼미, 카멜레온, 바다코끼리, 들소 등 다양한 야생동물들의 행동들의 예를 들면서 자신은 절대로 야생동물(Wild)이 아니라는 것을 재미있게 보여줍니다.
그리고 자신은 야생동물들과는 달리 옳고 그림을 분간할 수 있으며, 잘못한 것에 대해서는 사과도 할 줄 알기 때문에 절대로 야생동물(Wild)이 아니라고 강변합니다.
"Wild"라는 단어가 지니고 있는 두가지 의미(거칠다, 야생동물)를 이용해서 재미있는 그림책을 만들었습니다.
엄마가 자신을 진정으로 알아주기를 바라는 마음이 예쁜 그림과 글 안에 가득 담겨 있는 유머러스한 내용의 그림책입니다.

Book Description
I'm sitting in the time-out chair because my mother put me there. She said, "You try my patience, child! I do not like it when you're wild."
School Library Journal
When a young girl is sent to a time-out chair, she defends herself by asking, "Wild?/Who me?" With wide-eyed innocence, she proclaims: "Wild has feathers./Wild has scales./Wild has whiskers, tusks, and tails./Wild is furry./Wild is strong./Wild does not know/right from wrong." As she describes each characteristic, unruly animals take over the kitchen and living room-snorting, charging, and growling as they break dishes, overturn furniture, and create messes. The narrator seems to be surprised by their antics, but the gleam in her eye makes it obvious that she's not as innocent as she appears. So who created the havoc-the animals or this "meek and mild" child? Sharp-eyed readers will enjoy spotting the toys being blamed for the disasters; the endpapers, with numerous stuffed animals strewn haphazardly across them, provide another clue. Solomon adds to the humor by giving the youngster oversized features that make her appear cartoonlike, but with a painterly touch just shy of realistic. Splashes of salt resist on each page form a soft patterned background for the carpeting. An interesting combination of gouache brush strokes scattered over watercolor washes captures the texture of fur and feathers. Pair this book with Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are (HarperCollins, 1988) for another protagonist whose imagination runs rampant when he's confined, and to create a storytime that will grab the attention of children who have been placed in a time-out.
Booklist
Banished to a corner for "wild" behavior, a toddler launches a spirited self-defense by imagining truly wild beasts (inspired by her collection of animal toys) running rampant through her living room--and comparing herself favorably to them. Weeks' verses are clever ("Wild's ferocious. Wild will bite. I'm precocious and polite"), but the girl's sophisticated voice doesn't jibe with her apparent age, and it must be said that a punishment leading to fanciful encounters with wild things is a premise that has been used before. Solomon's watercolor-and-gouache art, though, is a showstopper. In a brighter, freer style than that of her debut, Clever Beatrice (2001), she renders the animals with meticulous precision and ratchets up the sense of chaos with dizzying perspectives, elements breaching the boundaries of frames, and eye-teasing patches of collage. The protagonist's gnomish figure doesn't have instant appeal, but the hints of wildness that belie her prim words (walls adorned with crayon scribbles, scattered stuffed animals) will resonate with occasionally beastly kids as well as their parents. Jennifer Mattson
Review
"Sarah Weeks's rambunctious angel in If I Were a Lion will have readers roaring with laughter. Parents should love reading it too, as it's bound to evoke memories of their own childhood antics. Heather Solomon's wonderfully textured creatures make you want to touch each one of them." -- Betsy Lewin, Caldecott Honor-winning illustrator of Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type
