Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah A Letter from Camp

A parent should reach for this book when their child is feeling anxious or dramatic about an upcoming separation, especially sleepaway camp. Based on the classic novelty song, the story is told through a series of letters from a boy at Camp Granada. He comically details a list of terrible (and exaggerated) calamities, begging his parents to take him home. However, once the sun comes out, his tune changes completely, revealing the fun he's actually having. This hilarious book validates a child's big worries by taking them to a funny extreme, gently showing that scary new experiences can turn into wonderful adventures. It's a perfect, lighthearted way to open a conversation about homesickness and resilience.
