I Camped with Bigfoot

Publishing February 24, 2026 | Hardcover | 40 Pages

Kayden was frozen in place. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Bigfoot really was real! And he was standing in his backyard right now!  

Kayden has always believed Bigfoot was real—and this camping trip with his sister Harper is his big chance to prove it! He’s packed binoculars, snacks, and a wild imagination. But as night falls in the forest, there's no mysterious creature in sight . . . until something enormous, hairy, and definitely not from Earth shows up.

Meet Daryl—part tourist, part alien, and full-time Bigfoot. After a stressful season working with the other extraterrestrials, he’s finally on vacation, and Earth is his favorite getaway. He’s here for fresh air, peace and quiet, and maybe a few hot dogs. But when he crashes Kayden’s campsite, the two strike up an unlikely friendship that’s out of this world.

Brimming with humor, heart, and cosmic surprise, I Camped with Bigfoot is a joyful celebration of curiosity and the kind of secret that’s too wild not to believe.
