Bookroo's summary
On a camping trip filled with unexpected challenges, a young boy learns self-reliance under his mother's gentle guidance. As mini-disasters unfold, she resists the urge to fix everything, instead teaching him to tackle obstacles himself. Will he rise to the occasion, or will the wilderness prove too daunting? Amidst the trials, there's still time for starlit snuggles, making this adventure one of growth and bonding.
From the publisher
“Clements and Alley reunite to produce a strong companion title to Because Your Daddy Loves You.” –KirkusReviews When a little boy and his mom go camping, mini-disasters abound, and there are lots of opportunities for Mom to step in and fix everything. But instead, with a loving touch, this mommy shows her child ways to do things for himself, going far to encourage her child’s independence. And there is still plenty of opportunity for snuggling under the stars.
