Today we'll being our discussion for the first part of July: On the Road--Books about Traveling.
From summer vacations to holiday journeys, trips that cross the ocean to trips that cross that state or town line, children, teens, and their families are on the road and on the move in many books for children and young adults.
Of course some journeys are metaphorical, and some literature deftly blend both types of "travel". But for now, let's focus on books that have a literal journey , even as they may also offer something more.
When I think of "traveling" two of the books for younger children that immediately come to mind are both by Vera B. Williams:* *"Stringbean's Trip to the Shining Sea" and "Three Days on a River in a Red Canoe."
