Children’s Book of the Month: Epic Journeys

Our “Children’s” Book of the Month for March is Epic Journeys by Sam G. C. and Raquel Martín.

Notice how we have put the word “children’s” in quotations. When we saw this book we fell in love immediately because we get so many customers coming to Stanfords planning adventures on these very routes. We think it’s also wonderful for adults to get an overview of so many great trails, voyages, and journeys throughout history in one beautifully illustrated book.
