Hazel and Tilly are camping in the woods.  There are frogs and rabbits, a quiet deer, and a million fireflies.  Getting muddy? Splashing in a river? Marshmallows for breakfast?  Join Hazel and Tilly for a day of exploring, learning, and making friends.  You never know what new and fun things will happen when you are a camping. 

“I just sighed a big sigh after reading this book because it made me nostalgic and happy. You can't beat that.” - NC Teacher Stuff (February 21, 2012)

“Lee's childlike watercolors are in sweet harmony with her text, which is both evocative and simple enough for early readers, without a superfluous word. Just right.” - Kirkus Reviews (February 15, 2012)

Written for ages 3-6, I hope that When You Are Camping, will invite families to snuggle up together and remember their own camping adventures...Or inspire them to plan a future outdoor adventure, even if it is a walk around the block or a visit to a nearby park!  This is a story about discovery, and that is something that children can do in the woods, at the beach, or in the city.  

When You Are Camping is an excellent read-aloud for libraries or classrooms whether the theme is camping, summertime, animals, or nature.
