Our Story
Traveling is one of the best experiences in life and sharing the journey with kids should be fun and educational!
The Little Travelers Club® U.S. book series visits each state to introduce fun and interesting facts about the history, geography, animals, foods and culture that kids may encounter. Paired with on-the-page activities, stickers, postcards and journal pages, this becomes the perfect travel companion for little travelers to learn while having fun!
We are excited to cultivate the spirit of discovery in young travelers and inspire them to explore whether it’s in their own backyard or hundreds of miles from home. Being a part of the club means being open to new places, people and experiences in this wonderful world we share.
Our high quality books, gear and resources are designed to promote education and experience through exploration!
