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

* "Covell's illustrations are EXUBERANT. . . . This sweetly unruly book is destined for mud-stained and ripped pages, as it is sure to accompany many a child on wild adventures in their own parks, playgrounds, and backyards." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review of Run Wild

* “Through POWERFUL ART AND PUNCHY TEXT, Covell celebrates freedom, the out-of-doors, the joy of movement, and the importance of paying attention to the present moment.” — Publishers Weekly, starred review of Run Wild

". . . a madcap, carefree adventure through nature’s wide-open spaces." —The New York Times review of Run Wild

“Summertime! Freedom! Running through the woods and along the beach with nothing to do but enjoy the day. Author-illustrator Covell imparts an ideal image of a magical, carefree childhood day where just being alive is exciting.” —Booklist review of Run Wild
