Capturing the quirky designs and adventurous spirit of vintage camper vans, affectionately known as “eggs on wheels,” this cheerful picture book spreads love and affirmations on every page. Each illustration shows a different model of vintage camper van receiving a unique compliment from a friendly bird. This simple concept teaches young children to celebrate what makes each person special and loveable and to share love and positivity to their friends and family wherever they go. A Little Camper Love is the perfect book to bring along on family camping trips—whether you are travelling in a vintage camper or wish you were!—and helps foster self-confidence and consideration towards others.
