"Get back to nature in this gorgeous sunlit filled book that celebrates the joy of being outdoors.
“Hey, you! Sky’s blue!” a girl shouts as she runs by the window of a boy bent over his digital device. Intrigued, the boy runs out after her, leaving his shoes (and phone) behind, and into a world of sunshine, dewey grass, and warm sand. Filled with the pleasures of being alive in the natural world, Run Wild is an exquisite and kid-friendly reminder of how wonderful life can be beyond doors and screens."
This book is one for the nature lovers! Simple yet compelling illustrations and text. Celebrates the simple pleasures of exploring the nature world. Openly challenges many of the attitudes that commonly prevent children (and adults) from getting out and enjoying nature ("Squeaky clean? Who cares about that?"). A great book to read to prime children to enjoy the outdoors over summer or to reminisce on adventures when they come back together in the fall. Made me want to take my shoes off and go find some warm sand to wander in...
