| Publisher Description: Inspire children to fall in love with the world they live in with Tiny Travelers! The Tiny Travelers "Treasure Quest" Series takes its readers on a fun-filled journey to discover what makes each country special with search-and-find features on every spread. In Tiny Travelers Japan Treasure Quest, readers journey from the bustling capital city of Tokyo to the beautiful festival of the cherry blossoms (or Sakura) and to the summit of Mount Fuji. Tiny travelers will enjoy getting closer to Japanese culture in all its splendor. Each illustrated spread invites children to discover hidden treasures - icons, animals, statues, instruments and more - that make up majestic Japan. "Most kids today are told that it's a small world, when in fact it's a really big world," says Encantos CEO and Tiny Travelers creator and author Steven Wolfe Pereira. "And because the world is so big, there are many countries, cities, and cultures that have yet to be discovered and explored by kids. We created Tiny Travelers to foster curiosity, empathy, and understanding by learning what makes people and places so special." A+ educational content....Wonderful... to share with young kids -- to broaden their horizons and discover new places of interest!" -- Common Sense Media "Purpose is at the core of the Tiny Travelers launch... The goal is to expose kids to the vastness and diversity of the world beyond their backyards, engendering empathy for different cultures, geographies and languages at a time when people all over the world are more connected than ever via digital platforms."- Forbes "The books are full of fun facts, hidden "easter eggs", and rhyme-based storytelling. They're infused with keywords from the featured country's language, helping teach kids correct pronunciation and useful phrases for travel." - Parentology |
