I love this book. It's one of my favorite of this reading season.

This is based off a community that practices this each year. A family and community gather each year in the woods. The make bon fires and string up lights and tarps and bring all the food with them. Rain or shine, cold or warm, they all meet in the woods for the day and hang out, play, sing songs and build community together. I’m sure it’s hard work totting everything out in the woods and the food is probably on the cooler side, but this sounds amazing. I would love to try this.

The kids enjoyed the artwork and the story. They both gave this one 4 stars. How do we set this up so it happens. This is a great idea to spread everywhere. This even happens in New York State where it’s probably cold. Maybe just one year. The kids think this sounds like fun getting to play in the woods for a day. We would have to travel a ways to do that here in Baltimore.

Still, sounds lovely and I am glad they shared this with the world.
