Beatrice The Little Camper Gets Rescued

A Vintage Camper Finds Her Forever Family

The heartwarming story of a little camper who goes from forgotten to fabulous — and the lesson that beautiful things are always worth saving.

Years ago, Beatrice the Little Camper had a family who loved her. Together they camped under the stars, roasted s’mores by the fire, and made memories on endless road trips. But when the children grew up and moved away, Beatrice was forgotten — left to rust behind an old barn, dreaming of adventures she feared she’d never have again.

Then the Tuffle family comes along. They see exactly what Beatrice still has to offer — and with a little elbow grease and a whole lot of love, they transform her into the glamping beauty she was always meant to be.

A Story About More Than Camping:

• Kindness and second chances — Beatrice’s rescue reminds young readers that everything — and everyone — deserves a new beginning
• Recycling and sustainability — A perfect Earth Day read showing kids how old things become beautiful again with care and love
• Family and togetherness — The Tuffles’ camping adventures remind us that the best memories are made together outdoors
• Vibrant full-color illustrations by Lauren Ackerman bring Beatrice’s world to life on every page

Perfect for readers ages 3–7, camping families, RV lovers, vintage camper enthusiasts, and anyone who believes in the magic of second chances. Keep it in your RV, tuck it into a bedtime routine, or wrap it up as a gift — either way, Beatrice will steal your heart.

The perfect gift for little adventurers who love camping, the outdoors, and stories with big hearts.
