The Camel Who Had The Hump

A gloriously empowering tale of grumpy, humpy TERRIBLE times, and how one slight shift might just change everything.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

An uplifting and empowering tale about finding new ways to navigate big feelings, from the bestselling creators of The Lion Inside.

As a shimmering sun lit the desert at dawn,

A clumping of camels awoke with a yawn.

"GOOD MORRRRNING!" sang one,

"YOO-HOO! Rise and shine!"

"I will!" called another. "Today is DIVINNNNNNE!"

But not everyone has woken up in a good mood: Cuthbert the camel is having a bit of a bad morning. He's hot, he's tired, and he certainly WON'T be walking to the oasis today! There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that will get him out of his grump. Or is there?

When Cuthbert makes a new friend, he discovers that even if things get off on the wrong hoof, we're all just one smile away from a happy rest-of-day.

A laugh-out-loud tale of how choosing fun can turn a grumpy, humpy start into a happy ending. This spectacularly illustrated rhyming tale from the award-winning, bestselling creators of The Lion Inside and The Koala Who Could is the perfect read for anyone who's ever had The Hump.
