Acclaimed authors Zadie Smith and Nick Laird are back with a brand-new picture book about conquering new experiences and enjoying the great outdoors!
Maud is Kit's beloved guinea pig and they do everything together. But when Kit gets a packing list for her upcoming camping trip, she's nervous about leaving home. She's never slept in the forest before! Maud is just as worried. Who will Kit hug if she gets lonely? So Maud decides to go with her—after all, an adventure is better with friends!
The great outdoors is full of surprises, including a mysterious spiky creature Maud isn't sure what to make of at first. Both she and Kit take big steps outside of their comfort zones—and discover that the wild outdoors can be just as magical as the cozy indoors.
Zadie Smith is the author of the novels White Teeth, The Autograph Man, On Beauty, NW and Swing Time; as well as a novella, The Embassy of Cambodia; three collections of essays, Changing My Mind, Feel Free and Intimations; a collection of short stories, Grand Union; and the play, The Wife of Willesden, adapted from Chaucer. She is also the editor of The Book of Other People. Zadie Smith was born in north-west London, where she still lives.
