Once Upon a Camel

Once Upon a Camel
by Kathi Appelt (Author) and Eric Rohmann (Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop | IndieBound

Booktalk: Zada is a camel with a treasure trove of stories to tell. She’s won camel races for the royal Pasha of Smyrna, crossed treacherous oceans to new land, led army missions with her best camel friend by her side, and outsmarted a far too pompous mountain lion.

But those stories were from before. Now, Zada wanders the desert as the last camel in Texas. But she’s not alone. Two tiny kestrel chicks are nestled in the fluff of fur between her ears–kee-killy-keeing for their missing parents–and a dust storm the size of a mountain is taking Zada on one more grand adventure. And it could lead to this achy old camel’s most brilliant story yet.
