Go! My Adventure Journal from Wee Society + Giveaway

Our friends at Wee Society have another amazing book coming out soon and this time it’s one you’ll take with you on trips—just in time for summer, that long-awaited warm season of road trips, jaunts and excursions.

We’ve long admired and been inspired by Wee Society’s bright, modern and color-drenched aesthetic and their penchant for the whimsical and the fun.  If you have any of their books, you know what we mean about it being impossible not to break into a smile when you start to turn those pages.  Their latest book Go! is a unique take on the travel journal, a place to record your latest near or far adventure with a few fantastic surprises in the back (watch the following videos for a sneak peek).  The sentence starters included make writing and documenting memories a fun experience and are part of what will make Go! one of the best souvenirs from your trip.  It comes in three jacket colors—red, blue and yellow—and we’re already thinking it’ll probably be one our go-to gifts for birthdays this year.

In celebration of their new Go! travel journal (out soon on 3/27), we’re partnering with them on a giveaway of some of their irresistible collection:

Little Truck

Little Truck is learning to navigate the roads on his own but when he runs into some obstacles, his watchful parent is never too far behind to give him the extra push and guidance he needs.  A sweet, reassuring story about growing up and taking our first steps of independence.

Little Truck was written and illustrated by Taro Gomi and published by Chronicle Books.  Out on April 3.  

The River

“In the spring the sagra (a holy feast) comes to town with its carnival rides.  Flowering linden trees perfume the air and fill the sky with soft puffs that look like snow.  Music and bright lights fill the streets until midnight.”

Alessandro Sanna eloquently depicts the passing of time and what the seasons bring in a story about the people and life in and around a river.  It might be worth it to buy THE RIVER for his skies alone—saturated, dramatic, wispy, rich with movement, and in every shade of every color imaginable.  They run the gamut of emotions and play a part in telling the story of our connection to the place where we live.

THE RIVER was written and illustrated by Alessandro Sanna and published by Enchanted Lion Books.  For a preview of the interior, head over to this Instagram post and scroll right.

When I Am Big

A boy imagines what he’ll be like when he grows up — the things he’ll collect, the things he’ll do for fun, what’ll he’ll eat, where he’ll go.  He’ll ride a bicycle with 2 horns, tie his shoes all by himself and make “3 knots with big bows.”  He’ll have 4 hats for his “adventures to the south, the north, the east, and the west.”  And he’ll have “7 different jobs, one for each day of the week!”  But his favorite job will be “walking animals.”  A whimsical and clever take on the traditional counting book, and a sweetly funny tribute to children’s imagination and their perpetual wonderment about grown-up life.

When I Am Big was written and illustrated by Maria Dek and published by Princeton Architectural Press.  Out soon on April 3.
