Tiny Goes Camping

A parent might reach for this book when their child is feeling anxious about an upcoming first, like a sleepover, a new school, or especially a camping trip. This gentle early reader follows a big bear named Tiny who, despite his size, is quite scared about his first time camping. He worries about the dark and the strange noises of the night. The story beautifully normalizes these common fears and models how a caring parent can provide reassurance and context, helping a child turn fear into curiosity and confidence. Its simple language and supportive tone make it an excellent tool for preparing a young child for a new adventure.
