Yasmin is excited about her nature scout trip, but she is nervous about sleeping in a tent. To make matters worse, Yasmin’s tent threatens to collapse! Can some quick thinking and creativity convince Yasmin that she can do anything, just like Baba told her? Best-selling author Saadia Faruqi shares another delightful story featuring Yasmin and her multigenerational Pakistani American family.

Hatem Aly is an Egyptian-born illustrator whose work has been featured in multiple publications worldwide. He currently lives in beautiful New Brunswick, Canada, with his wife, son, and more pets than people. When he is not dipping cookies in a cup of tea or staring at blank pieces of paper, he is usually drawing books.
