Buckle your seatbelts, we’re off on a trip across the United States of America, reading our way from coast to coast!

Beginning this month, we’re off to explore the Northeast, focusing on New England, and then in November, on the Mid Atlantic States. We’ll make our way around the country, learning lots of fun facts and reading some great books along the way.
