About Colton and the Quiet Campfire

Colton and the Quiet Campfireby Adam PriebeIt's Colton's very first camping trip — and his heart is fluttering with excitement (and just a little bit of nerves). With his dad by his side, Colton learns to pitch a tent, roasts marshmallows over a crackling fire, and listens to a chorus of birds as the sun dips behind the pines. But when night falls, the woods become a different place.

Shadows stretch long across the tent, and strange new sounds — hooting owls, rustling leaves, chirping crickets — seem to grow louder in the dark. Tucked deep in his sleeping bag, Colton wonders if he'll ever fall asleep at all. With a little reassurance from Dad and a lot of brave listening, Colton discovers that the sounds of the forest aren't something to fear — they're the woods singing him a gentle lullaby.

By the time the campfire fades to embers, Colton realizes the wild outdoors isn't so different from home after all — just a little wilder, and full of quiet magic. A warm, beautifully illustrated story about first-time fears, the comfort of a parent's presence, and learning to find peace in the unfamiliar.
