About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like they do not quite fit in at school or when they are struggling with the transition of moving to a new place. It is a perfect choice for children who feel small in social settings but possess a big sense of adventure waiting to be unlocked. The story follows Fatima, an Indian immigrant girl, as her family embarks on their first American camping trip. While she deals with the stings of being teased for her accent and food at school, she discovers her own bravery and competence while setting up a tent and building a fire. This gentle, beautifully illustrated story emphasizes that our heritage is a source of strength and that everyone deserves to occupy space in the great outdoors. It is ideal for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating identity, family bonding, and the healing power of nature.
