From the acclaimed author-illustrator of Julian is a Mermaid comes
a story of small moments between father and child that affirms the
comfort of finding one’s place in the world. “We’re going
camping, you and me.” “Where?” I ask. “The desert,” says
Dad. “To shake hands with the universe.” Going to bed each
night can be dark and scary. The night sky stretches out endlessly,
making one sensitive child feel small in comparison. So Dad comes
up with a plan: a night of camping out in the desert. Together, the
two load up Darlin’, the old pickup truck, and drive over the
mountain with the radio on, stopping to shoot the breeze at a
junkyard before setting up camp, jumping in sand dunes, and lying
back to name all the birds they can see. After sunset, when the
young thinker feels tiny against the vast sky, Dad knows just what
to ask – and just what to say – to soothe away fears. Maybe
this night spent under the stars (and a surprise from Mum and the
baby later) are just what is needed to show that the universe is a
friendly place.
