A family’s summers in the mountains

Inspired by the Rocky Mountains, this picture book traces a family’s annual journeys into the wilderness through a child’s growing responsibilities. Backpacks, trail snacks, mountain climbs and mossy forests shape an outdoor experience that develops alongside the child, who gradually takes on more of the practical work. The description also connects time in nature with learning independence and bravery, while showing the landscape as a place to pause and set burdens down. Its blend of family camping, exploration and reflection gives the book a clear focus on both outdoor activity and the ways nature can offer perspective.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in camping, hiking and outdoor adventures.
  • Families seeking a picture book about exploring nature together.
  • Young readers encountering themes of growing independence and bravery.

Book overview

Into the Wilderness is a celebration of the outdoors and the lessons and strengths we gain from spending valuable time in nature-- inspired by the Rocky Mountains. Perfect for fans of Hike and Wonder Walkers, and fans of national parks!

Every summer, a child and their parents leave behind the roads and houses. And with backpacks full of food and sleeping bags, they go into the wilderness.

As they climb tall mountains and explore mossy forests, they carry their supplies. And really good trail snacks.

As this child ages, they can carry more. Like their own backpack and, eventually, the map.

They learn independence and bravery. And they learn that, when everything gets to be a little too much, they can put down what they carry. They can smell the pine in the air, look up at the cliffs and trees holding them in a great big circle, and they can let the beauty of the world carry them.
