“My aunt Jackie invited me to go camping with her and my cousin Samantha this weekend. I’ve never been camping before, but I know I will love it.”
It’s Ernestine’s first time camping, and she is beyond excited. She carefully follows the packing list so she will be ready when the weekend arrives. But she quickly realizes that pitching a tent
is much harder than it looks, and swimming in the lake means there will be…fish?? Eek! Will Ernestine be able to enjoy the wilderness, or will the great outdoors prove to be a little too far out of
her comfort zone?
Discover how opening your mind to new experiences, no matter how challenging or different, can lead to great memories in this energetic story about a first sleepover under the stars.

Jennifer K. Mann is a children’s book author and illustrator on Bainbridge Island, just across from Seattle, in beautiful Puget Sound. She lives here with her husband and two
children, six chickens, three cats, and two dogs—a big one named Lottie, and a small one named Cody. She once was an architect, and spent many years designing stores for a big architecture firm in
Seattle. Then she had children, and started reading beautiful picture books to them, and realized that what she really wanted was to be a picture book author and illustrator. She finds inspiration
for stories and art from memories of childhood, her children’s antics and adventures, and the often silly goings-on of her domestic menagerie.
