Gerry's Campfire Adventures.

A picture book series about noticing other people. Each book is a story, a song page, and a place to slow right down. Around six minutes read aloud, which is just the right size for the end of the day.

What should Gerry learn next?

Every book starts with something real. Sharing, slowing down, listening, saying hello when hello feels hard. If there is something your little one is working through right now, starting school, a new sibling, missing a grandparent, making friends, we would love to hear it. It might quietly become the thing Gerry learns next.
