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, this book is the perfect follow-up and companion to David Covell's New York Times Best Illustrated, Run Wild.
