Book Cover & Preview Text
Parents and Grandparents: Life can sometimes seem to be all about new experiences, change and growth. Did you ever wish you’d kept a record of those summer vacations you had as a child? Or that you had photos from a road trip you took when you were younger? If you’re lucky, you or your parents did keep a photo album. It‘s fun to look back on those memories. But in this digital age, who is keeping that record? This book could be a simple solution to that question. Modern kids take pictures with their phones, but in 20 years when they have kids of their own, where will those pictures be? The format they use to take pictures today will almost certainly be so outdated that it’s no longer in use. They’ll want to show their children the vehicle they were in, the pets they had, what their grandparents looked like when they were young. Selfies are fun, but in 20 years will you be able to access the ones taken today or even last year?

About the Book
Modern kids and adults take pictures with their phones, text their friends and post on social media. But in the future, where will those images and messages be? The formats we use for communicating today will almost certainly be outdated and no longer in use. Travelers will want to have a record of where they went on vacation, the vehicle they were in, what their parents and grandparents were like. Even more important, it will benefit kids to learn how to write about their experiences.
Designed for 8-to-12 year-olds, but suitable for any age, this book provides a place to document experiences on a vacation or road trip, and to preserve those memories for future generations. The first three pages have simple instructions and suggestions for what to write about. Following the instructions is a page to list the details of the trip such as who is traveling, the destination, etc. There are over 40 pages that are to be filled in with observations and pictures for each trip. The book has enough pages for two separate trips. It's a hands-on book that encourages development of writing skills and so much more.
