Children's Adventure Picture Books

As you may know, we just launched our Adventure Kids book via Kickstarter! You can pre-order ABCs of Adventure and support the project now. In the meantime, I thought I’d share some of our favorite children’s adventure picture books!

These books are some of our kids favorites as well as ours. Reading them doesn’t get old, which is a lot to say for a kids book! We love instilling a love of the outdoors in our children.

Some of these books are poetic and touch a deep place in your heart. There are morals of friendship, happiness, and leading a simple life of adventure. The visuals are captivating and the stories are immersive.
