Ernestine has never been camping before, but she’s sure it will be lots of fun . . . won’t it? An endearing story about a girl’s first experience with the great outdoors. My aunt Jackie invited me to go camping with her and my cousin Samantha this weekend. I’ve never been camping before, but I know I will love it. Ernestine is beyond excited to go camping. She follows the packing list carefully (new sleeping bag! new flashlight! special trail mix made with Dad!) so she knows she is ready when the weekend arrives. But she quickly realizes that nothing could have prepared her for how hard it is to set up a tent, never mind fall asleep in it, or that swimming in a lake means that there will be fish — eep! Will Ernestine be able to enjoy the wilderness, or will it prove to be a bit too far out of her comfort zone? In an energetic illustrated story about a first sleepover under the stars, acclaimed author-illustrator Jennifer K. Mann reminds us that opening your mind to new experiences, no matter how challenging, can lead to great memories (and a newfound taste for s’mores).

Down Thru Love is a heartfelt story about a young man named Peyton Love, his journey of being born with Down syndrome, and his triumphs of life through self-realization, forgiveness, and love. Peyton Love’s life has been full of challenges, but he has persevered through them all because of his mother’s sacrifices and consistent lessons. With the hope of one day finding his father and proving his worth, Peyton works his entire life collecting awards, accolades, trophies, and anything that would validate his existence. Being abandoned before taking his first breath, Peyton’s pain fueled his passion for his father’s validation and acceptance. But would it be enough? When tragedy strikes and Peyton’s world falls apart, he sets out to find his father, with no promise of a welcoming reconciliation. As he searches, Peyton struggles to keep his mother’s beliefs alive—that it is possible to change the world through forgiveness and love. Unbeknownst to Peyton, this very forgiveness would not only allow him to change the world, but it would become the critical puzzle piece to saving his own life, and fulfilling his purpose. As his search draws closer to finding his father, will Peyton be able to forgive him? Can he move past old hurts to fulfill his mother’s dream of becoming the Love the world needs? What will be the view of Love, Thru Down?
