Official synopsis Publisher
A picture book celebrating the beauty of nature, new experiences, and gaining perspective. Sometimes you have to go far, far away to appreciate the world around you.
Excellent for fans of The Camping Trip and 3–7-year-olds with an interest in the outdoors will love the exploration of wildlife and its rewards.
Mom and Mama are taking Rowan on his first camping trip far, far away from the city where they live. Rowan is excited to see all kinds of wildlife, possibly even a bear or a moose!
But they are canoe camping, which means they carry all their supplies on their back and paddle from place to place. Before long, Rowan is tired and hungry, itchy from mosquito bites, and downright grumpy. In fact, he wants to go home.
When night falls, Mom and Mama listen to his complaints, but when they show him the sky—full of stars like he’s never seen before—Rowan realizes that though camping is hard work, it is worth it in the end.
Young readers will have a better appreciation for the challenges and rewards that come with being in the outdoors, and will come back to Far, Far Away often to remind themselves of nature’s beauty.
