Adventure awaits!

Fatima Khazi is eager for her family to arrive at their local state park for their first camping trip ever.  In the great outdoors, everything seems possible.  Not like school, where kids tell Fatima that her hair and lunch and words are wrong.  And not like her new home, where she misses her parents, who work two jobs each.

Outside, curiosity and patience help the family build a shelter and campfire, and after a day of activity and laughter, there's nothing better than snuggling in one big tent under a canopy of stars, serenaded by the sounds of the forest.

Author Ambreen Tariq's joyful text and illustrator Stevie Lewis's vibrant landscapes celebrate an immigrant family's deep connection to and affection for the outdoors and the many ways our natural world is a loving home to all.
