Whether it's the first day of school, a sleepover, or a camping trip, new experiences can be scary. It seems like you'll never be 100% ready.

These alpacas in their wacky factory help little ones get ready for any new adventure. They pack and pack and pack, until... WAIT!
This is too much! Nobody needs that much stuff! Maybe Marley and Ralph have been ready all along...

In this fresh, contemporary take on Oh, The Places You'll Go!, the catchy infomercial-inspired voice matched with Ruth Chan's hilarious illustrations will have readers laughing along and feeling prepared for anything.

Before becoming a full-time illustrator and author, Ruth Chan spent her childhood tobogganing in Canada, her teens in China, a number of years studying art and education, and a decade working with youth and families in underserved communities. She now writes and illustrates in Brooklyn NY and enjoys hanging out with alpacas very, very much. Visit ohtruth.com for more info.
