Fatima's Great Outdoors

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. 

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 up in one big tent under a canopy of stars, serenaded by the sounds of the forest.

Author Ambreen Tariq's joyful text and illustrator Steve 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.
