Bookroo's summary

A girl’s call pulls a boy from his digital world into the vibrant outdoors. As he leaves his phone and shoes behind, he discovers the joy of sunshine, dewy grass, and warm sand. Will he embrace the beauty of life beyond screens? "Run Wild" invites young readers to rediscover the magic of nature and the simple pleasures of being alive.

From the publisher

Handpicked by Amazon kids’ books editor, Seira Wilson, for Prime Book Box – a children’s subscription that inspires a love of reading.

Get back to nature in this gorgeous sunlit filled book that celebrates the joy of being outdoors.

“Hey, you! Sky’s blue!” a girl shouts as she runs by the window of a boy bent over his digital device. Intrigued, the boy runs out after her, leaving his shoes (and phone) behind, and into a world of sunshine, dewey grass, and warm sand. Filled with the pleasures of being alive in the natural world, Run Wild is an exquisite and kid-friendly reminder of how wonderful life can be beyond doors and screens.
