Curiosity starts early.
Books that take young readers somewhere real.
The Adventures of Darren and Destiny.
Darren and Destiny are twins who travel. Each book takes them somewhere real, from Ghana to a Tanzanian safari to the spice islands of Zanzibar, and introduces young readers to the place, the people and the history behind it.
The Ultimate Activity Books carry the same idea further, with puzzles and games that teach children about a country while they play.
It is the same work Jay does with adults, written for the age when curiosity is easiest to build.
