USA Today Bestselling Author Lisa Tawn Bergren Celebrates the Joy of Outdoor Adventuring with Grandparents, through the Delightful New Picture Book Nana the Great Goes Camping
 
Last year, USA Today bestselling author Lisa Tawn Bergren—author of the four-million selling “God Gave Us” series—introduced her readers to her endearing Nana the Great character in Nana the Great Comes to Visit.
 
Now, she offers the tender and spunky picture book Nana the Great Goes Camping (a WaterBrook/Penguin Random House Hardcover; on-sale 3/28/23)—a rollicking exploration of the great outdoors and the wonders of the heart. As Nana teaches her grandkids on their special camping trip, it’s always a good time to find new discoveries, new friends, and new ways to experience God’s love.
 
Filled with David Hohn’s exuberant and playful illustrations, Nana the Great Goes Camping will help children appreciate their own grandparents anew—making them look forward to their next adventure together—as well as laugh along with the slightly-outrageous-but-entirely-wonderful character, Nana the Great.
 
In this book, readers will be delighted to learn…
-Nana doesn’t mind taking mud baths by the river.
-Nana loves making breakfast s’mores over a campfire.
-Nana knows that reaching the top of a mountain is always worth the hike.
-Camping is even more fun when Nana’s around!
 
Parents, grandparents and other caregivers will appreciate how this fun picture book celebrates peace and the potential of new friendships around every corner. And though God made the entire, star-filled universe, he sees and loves each of us too.
