Synopsis:
An immigrant family embarks on their first camping trip in the Midwest in this lively picture book by Ambreen Tariq, outdoor activist and founder of @BrownPeopleCamping

Ambreen Tariq's picture book debut, with cheerful illustrations by Stevie Lewis, is a rollicking family adventure, a love letter to the outdoors, and a reminder that public land belongs to all of us. 


My Thoughts:

Fatima's Great Outdoors is a beautiful story of one family's newest overnight outdoor adventure. 
After a long road trip filled with yummy snacks, Fatima and her family pitch a tent, learn to start a fire, cook their favorite foods, and fall asleep to the sounds of the forest around them. Even thought it is all a new experience, they come to love it so much that they are sad to leave! 

This beautifully illustrated story is about a Hindu-American family partaking in a 'great American pastime' for the very first time! They experience a lot of new firsts and we really enjoyed seeing how much fun they had! 

Camping is a fun outdoor activity that all families should be able to enjoy so I love that the author is the founder of @brownpeoplecamping and recommend checking out their instagram
