Adeola Sokunbi Books

This is the first in a fun illustrated chapter book series for 5-7-year-olds. The story provides an exploration of how children might overcome some of the worries associated with a first sleep-over or camp-out.

Through the eyes of Destiny, we explore how she feels about her upcoming camp-out at Olivia’s house and how she overcomes the butterflies in her tummy with the help of a very special friend. The story is lighthearted and creative, but also explores the physical symptoms children might experience when feeling apprehensive, which lends itself to discussion about emotional literacy.

The book is presented in an appealing and accessible way that will draw in younger or more reluctant readers and there are plenty of doodles to break up the text for those who find text-dense pages hard to navigate.
