Run Wild
Run Wild | David Covell
4 posts | 8 read | 1 to read
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.

Littens who camp: ✨🏕 ✨
Any extra doodads you absolutely love?

I‘ve got some gift cards & we‘re going camping at the end of May. We‘ve got all the major things already (sleeping bags, tent, sleeping pads) — but I‘m always down to improve in happy, little ways.

monalyisha @paulfrankspencer That seems like a conjoining of two totally random words. 😅 But also: I‘m sure you‘re right on the money & this is something I‘ll need as soon as I figure out what it actually is. 3y

Kimberlone Camping is a favorite activity for me and my boyfriend. Double sleeping bag and tent lights have been excellent purchases for us. We also have a go kit, which is a large Rubbermaid tub where we store all of our camping utensils, so we don‘t have to collect them every time. We just check if something needs to be replenished before every trip. Audiobooks are also a must for any long road trip! And nice for when you have no internet too :) 3y
Kimberlone We‘ve also invested in some nice insulated glasses (yeti brand) and coozies (hydro flask) that are super convenient (hot and cold!) and are more heavy duty. Spendy but worth it for the quality and if you have some gift cards to burn, I definitely recommend it! 3y
monalyisha Thanks @Kimberlone! Do you have any specific recs for tent lights? 3y
Kimberlone @monalyisha my boyfriend has bought two different ones for our tent (don‘t know the brands, sorry!). One is a larger light/fan combo and the other is a string of LEDs that we just leave strung up in our tent. Both are battery powered. Since we live in AK it is bright 20 hours a day during the summer, so the LED sting is usually enough for night time, but the fan is nice when it gets muggy. (edited) 3y

#MarchIntoThe70s Day 7: Covell has managed to capture the sun in all its glory, the forest in all its mustiness, the lake in all its blue saltiness in this book that I find to be a gift to the wild spirit lying dormant within any child. What a #WildWorld indeed. There is a boldness to the imagery that seems too huge –make that too infinite-to be contained within the pages, it spills out of the book entirely. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-j25

Severnmeadows The lovely picture of the boy diving into the sea reminded me of one of my favourite children‘s stories, Lucy Boston‘s Sea Egg. (edited) 5y

An enchanting picture book about running free in nature. The colorful illustrations use a mix of watercolor, ink, and either oil pastel or crayon. The effect is a spread across the page story of color and light and darkness. There is no such thing as “in the lines”. I love this almost impressionist style.
