"We are wild and fierce. We do not wait for invitations." It's time for
the annual family reunion, and the dozens of cousins are running wild
like beasties. Like hungry ogres! They hug fluttering aunts and
soft-spoken elders, play in the creek, shimmy up trees, take "double-dog
dares," and devour "the sweet juiciness of the world" along with hot
dogs and watermelon. Hilarious side stories unfold in Catrow's
fantastically colorful, chaotic spreads that gambol and splash with
comical caricatures of grinning kinfolk large and small. A lively,
lyrical celebration of the sweet, sweet abandon of running amok among
those who love you best.
