There’s no place like Nani Camp! This playful picture book celebrates the joy, wonder, and fun of spending the night at a grandparent’s house.

When Padma’s parents go away for the weekend on a babymoon (whatever that is), Padma goes away too—to Nani Camp!

Nani Camp may look suspiciously like Nani’s house, but it’s a lot more fun than staying home. From scavenger hunts to arts-and-crafts, camp is packed with activities, but things don’t always go to plan. Luckily, Padma will learn there’s no problem a cup of chai and a positive attitude can’t fix!

Grab your emergency slime, fill your pockets with supplies, and don’t wear anything you’re afraid of getting wet. Now you’re ready for Nani Camp!
