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.
David Covell grew up in the wilds of Maine, worked (and played!) for a time in Vermont, and moved to the Big Apple to work as a creative director in brand design. After many years of East Village, NYC life, he moved to a little village in the Catskills where he can be creative out of doors, as well as in his art studio.
