we live vicariously through these treasured books."― Jen W. Bouchard:
One of my greatest joys in life is fostering my daughter’s curiosity about the world. I like to stock her personal library full of exciting, beautiful books about faraway places. When we’re not traveling, we live vicariously through these treasured books. Here are my top three suggestions for books about other cultures that adults will enjoy just as much as the kids they are reading them to.
3 Beautiful Books for Young Travelers:
I Saw a Peacock with a Fiery Tail
by Ramsingh Urveti
A stunning reminder of why people keep making real-live books... based on a 17th-century British poem. 21st century Indian artist Ramsingh Urveti designed the die-cut illustrations in the Indian folk art style of the Gond tribe. It is one of the most visually engaging books I have ever laid eyes on, and a great way to immerse your young traveler in both British poetry and stunning traditional Indian art techniques. At once elegant and accessible, I Saw a Peacock with a Fiery Tail
is a must-have for your globally inspired library.
Walk this World
by Jenny Broom and Lotta Nieminen
Walk this World is the story of a curious young traveler who takes a day-long trip around the world. The mod, enthralling illustrations depict cultural landmarks of the world's major cities. The narrative drives home the point that there are myriad similarities between cultures, despite the differences we observe on the surface. Walk this World is a colorful, beautiful book with a great message for your young global citizens.
Henri’s Walk to Paris
by Leonore Klein and Saul Bass
Illustrated by the celebrated graphic designer Saul Bass, Henri’s Walk to Paris recounts the story of a young boy’s adventures--- with stunning 1960s-style graphics, of course. This book is perfect for budding francophiles or anyone who loves a good walk. Henri’s Walk to Paris looks like a design book and reads like a children’s book – a winning combination.

Berlin is a dynamic, progressive city, and the local art scene reflects its unique history and colorful present. From painters to performance artists, Berlin is home to some of the most innovative figures on the international stage: 'Very Modern, Very Edgy' very unlimited.

5 Great Authors to Take with You on Your Next Trip!
“I had found a new friend. The surprising thing is where I’d found him – not up a tree or sulking in the shade, or splashing around in one of the hill streams, but in a book. No one had told us kids to look there for a friend. Or that you could slip inside the skin of another. Or travel to another place with marshes, and where, to our ears, the bad people spoke like pirates. ” ―
Lloyd Jones, Mister Pip
In Matilda's eyes, Pip is as real as any living person. He has become
her friend. She writes his name in the sand and decorates it with
shells. That's where the redskin soldiers see it, and decide they must
track this stranger down. Who is this Mr Pip? The search to find him
will have devastating consequences.
Mister Pip is a novel about the power of the imagination and of storytelling. It is about loyalty, betrayal, grief, love and memory.
Mister Pip: Winner of the Commonwealth Writers' Prize, quite simply one of the greatest novels of our time.
Man Booker Prize finalist Lloyd Jones talks about creating a narrative with playfulness and concentration in his award-winning book Mister Pip.
"The voice of Matilda came to him."
Mister Pip has had rave reviews in the US, won the Commonwealth Prize and been scooped up by publishers all over the world. "When all else was taken away they still had great expectations."
The most successful novel ever to come out of New Zealand.
“You cannot pretend to read a book. Your eyes will give you away. So will your breathing. A person entranced by a book simply forgets to breathe. The house can catch alight and a reader deep in a book will not look up until the wallpaper is in flames.” ― Lloyd Jones
The REVIEW Accommodates Many Voices:
The Minimalists travel: Long-time friends stop in Salt Lake City to promote “Everything That Remains,” their second book about living a pared-down life.
Pulitzer Prize : 2014 Winners stories, photographs and cartoons, as well as bios and photos of winners, are available.

“It fit into the plot of the book I was writing in ways I couldn’t have imagined,”--
Donna Tartt, “The Goldfinch”
“I thought about it for years before I started writing — the idea of characters looking up at the screen, but facing the audience,”--Annie Baker, "The Flick"
“It was a great opportunity to be able to tell a story about the nature of slavery and freedom in the early years of the Republic,”--Alan Taylor, “The Internal Enemy"
"As I immersed myself in her life and began hearing her voice, I fell back in love with her.”--
Megan Marshall, “Margaret Fuller: A New American Life”
