Trevor Noah noted that he always wanted to a children's book and the book was his own way of tackling "the most complicated subject, which is conflict resolution, using one of the more, I would say like the nine subjects in our lives, which is just like kids who don’t want to do something that their parents want them to do." [1]
Although The Guardian referred to Into the Uncut Grass as "a spiritual successor" to Noah's 2016 book Born a Crime, [2] the book is not directly based on Noah's life experiences. [3]
Into the Uncut Grass was illustrated by Sabina Hahn and was published by Oneworld Publications. [4]
Into the Uncut Grass received a four star rating from Common Sense Media's Joly Herman. [4] Kirkus Reviews called it "a sweet bedtime story". [5]
Libby D'Orvilliers, writing for The Rider, referred to the book's illustrations as "simplistic and cute, offering imaginative stills that capture the essence of a child’s curiosity". [6]
