Illustrated by
David Catrow.
A large, boisterous family gathers for a reunion. This lyrical, spirited ode, rich with summertime imagery, celebrates the joys of adventures shared by far-flung cousins running in barefoot packs. Catrow's quirky illustrations capture appropriately wild and grungy kids playing in creek waters, feasting on watermelon, and catching fireflies, among other moments that are at once universal and particular.
