Have you ever read a book and felt like you’d actually been to that place?


Me too. Once, while standing in line at an amusement park, I met a couple who told me they were visiting from Maine. And I almost said, “Oh, I was just in Maine!” Except I’ve never actually been to Maine. I had just read a book that was set in Maine, and it was so immersive, it felt like I’d been there.


That’s the power of books. They take you places.


Books help us experience different narratives and cultures from all over the world and throughout history. They give us a taste of places and people we might not otherwise encounter. Reading books can enhance our real travel experiences, too.


Today, I’ve invited RAR Premium Coordinator Leilani Curtis to join me to talk about how books take us places. Plus, we’ll share a very fun new booklist we’ve created and plans for a whole new series of lists that will be coming up! 


In this episode, you’ll hear: 

  • How stories help us forge connections to places
  • Our perspective about the way reading can inspire family adventures, big and small
  • Tips for tailoring travel reading around your child’s interests and your destination
