New York Times Best Illustrated Book Award winner David Covell follows up Run Wild with a timely book about the importance of community and coming together.
Crackle. Crinkle. Sizzle. POP! Listen to the fire talk. It's telling us a story . . .
Since the magic and warmth of fire was discovered long ago, campfires have protected, aided, and inspired us. Perhaps most importantly, they've brought us together.
In this gorgeous picture book, a girl and her father build a campfire together to keep the cold at bay. But as they welcome passing travelers--from musicians to animals--they create a community, fostered by a crackling fire and its comforting warmth.
Written in sparkling, melodic prose, Gather Round is the perfect follow-up and companion to David Covell's New York Times Best Illustrated, Run Wild.
Praise for Gather Round
"The darkness and unknown are no match for people, song, and the warmth of a good fire in this reassuring paean to community."—Kirkus Reviews
"This would make a wonderful start to a camping trip, whether to the great outdoors or merely to the backyard."—BCCB
