This reassuring picture book about finding oneâs place in the world follows a father as he takes his child on their first camping trip where he shows them, under a blanket of stars, that the universe is a friendly place. Simultaneous eBook. Illustrations. - Random House, Inc.
A tender new story from the award-winning creator of Julián Is a Mermaid celebrates first-time camping, father-child bonding, and feeling at one with the universe.
âWeâre going camping, you and me.â
âWhere?â I ask.
âThe desert,â says Dad . . . âTo shake hands with the universe.â
Going to bed each night can be dark and scary. The night sky stretches out endlessly, making one sensitive child feel small in comparison. So Dad comes up with a plan: a night of camping out in the desert. Together, the two load up Darlinâ, the old pickup truck, and drive over the mountain with the radio on, stopping to shoot the breeze at a junkyard before setting up camp, jumping in sand dunes, and lying back to name all the birds they can see. After sunset, when the young thinker feels tiny against the vast sky, Dad knows just what to askâand just what to sayâto soothe away fears. Maybe this night spent under the stars (and a surprise from Mom and the baby later) are just what is needed to show that the universe is a friendly place. From acclaimed author-illustrator Jessica Love comes a story of small moments between father and child that affirms the comfort of finding oneâs place in the world.
