Grow Wild provides essential movement nutrition for you and your family…An inspiring, original and even a joyful book, Grow Wild is an instant classic.

Brilliantly organized and accessible, Grow Wild is full of actionable items that families can do immediately… An important book you’ll want to keep handy as a daily reference.

Pandemic parenting. Zoom meetings. Virtual school. If you’ve coped with looking at devices all year, Katy Bowman’s Grow Wild will strike you as a gentle, cautionary guide about kids’ “super-sedentary” environments, and how it’s counter-cultural, yet urgent, to start changing these. Logical, persuasive, and compassionate arguments make this a timely resource: we’re all culpable of sitting around too much, but we’re all capable of redefining our modern mold, too.

Grow Wild is a must-read for any parents and educators who want to inject more movement into kids’ lives but aren’t sure where to start. With plenty of photo inspiration and some great ideas to try, Bowman combines the ‘how’ and the ‘why’ of movement to give a field guide to turning sedentary kids into a generation of wild movers.

Katy Bowman is my go-to expert on the importance of movement for the body. Grow Wild is no exception to that. Filled with delightful, rich nuggets of information on everything from the best shoes to put on your child’s feet (if necessary!) to the importance of climbing trees, this book is a real gem for any family wanting to make the most of their movement opportunities on a daily basis.
