And with backpacks full of food and sleeping bags, they go into the wilderness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs they climb tall mountains and explore mossy forests, they carry their supplies. And really good trail snacks. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs this child ages, they can carry more. Like their own backpack and, eventually, the map. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThey learn independence and bravery.

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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHaven Iverson \u003c\/b\u003eholds an MFA from the University of Texas, Austin where she was a James A Micherner fellow in writing.
