Sophie is brimming with excitement as she prepares for her first summer at sleepaway camp. She's already visited and packed, and anticipation fills the air. However, as Mom tucks Sophie into bed one night, worry creeps in. Sophie confesses her fear of missing her too much while away at camp, which makes Sophie's mom acknowledge her sadness. Sophie, teary-eyed, learns the term 'homesick' for the first time and wants to know more. Mom disappears briefly and returns with two matching bracelets. She explains that even when they are apart, these bracelets will remind Sophie of their connection, allowing her to miss her mom and still have fun, reminding her of all the things that they do together. Sophie is immediately calmed by the bracelet and promises to wear it for the summer, but understands how important it is to wear. Later in the story, she puts on the bracelet at camp to think about how great she feels that Mom loves her whether they are together or not. As bedtime rolls around at camp, Sophie is wearing her bracelet and doing a good job so far.
