APPEALS TO: SOME

Rowan is on his first camping trip with his Mom and Mama.  While the adventure starts out great, by nightfall he is sore, tired, and ready to go home.  Mom and Mama show him the beautiful night sky - something so spectacular that he can’t see so well at home with the city lights. 

I would like reading this to a class as a prepare-for-summer-adventures book. In the back matter the author talks about the Dark Sky Sanctuary at the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, which the book is based on.
