A wild haired boy tries to fit in with the tribes of various animals he explores, And while he finds joy, entertainment and company to play with, he feels that there has to be a tribe for him somewhere.

Whereas the author explored elder years in Grandpa Green, this book is written with the lovely adventures of children in mind.

The child enjoys the animal tribes, but is most happy in a tribe of kids.

Lovely illustrations by a very talented artist. ( )

I really like that my department librarian requests books for his kids to be sent to our location, or I would never get to see all these cool new picture books. The goats are my favorite illustration in this book! ( )

I love this book, but trying to say why I love it is hard. It has great woodblock style illustrations, and most of the book is putting things in families like an unkindness of ravens. It just has something I love, but I can't articulate why.

A wild-haired kid tries to join, and is rejected by, a series of groups of animals (a smack of jellyfish, a pod of whales, a parade of elephants, etc.) and ends up finding their own tribe of wild children.

Artwork is enchanting. Minimal text, using group-names of animals (pod whales, unkindness of ravens) in sequence to suggest story. ( )

Book description
When a young boy embarks on a journey alone . . .
he trails a colony of penguins, 
undulates in a smack of jellyfish, 
clasps hands with a constellation of stars, 
naps for a night in a bed of clams, 
and follows a trail of shells, 
home to his tribe of friends.
