WILD FOREST CAMP
Book Summary
A picture book that addresses the challenges of integration and friendship with humor and tenderness. Through the story of Dragon, a character who fails to fit in with camp activities, young readers will discover that being different is not an obstacle to finding a place in the group. A work that invites reflection on empathy and the value of cooperation.
What is it about?
It is Dragon's first day at camp and his companion is excited to show him all the activities. However, everything seems to go wrong: Dragon breaks the arrows during archery, tips over the sailboat, ruins the puppet show, and almost sets the tent on fire.
