A little explorer. A familiar face.
A nature book starring your child and their grandparent
Your child and Grandma or Grandpa can explore the Field Atlas together, each illustrated from their own photo. The child leads the expedition through seven habitats, and the final chapter is the home state you select. Add a dedication about the places and discoveries you share.

Both of you belong in the picture
Choose the child-and-Grandma or child-and-Grandpa cast and add one clear photo of each person. The grown-up appears beside the child in the personalized expedition scenes. One child and one grown-up is the supported cast; this edition does not put several grandchildren into one Atlas.
Something to read before your next walk
At about 6 to 8, read the expedition passages aloud and look for animals together. Older children can read the reference text and point out what they discover. You do not need to visit every habitat to use the book; the home-state chapter gives you a place to begin talking about nearby landscapes.
Leave room for their own discoveries
The optional Field Notebook carries the child's name and home state. Its 23 log-and-sketch pairs have room for the date, weather, sightings and a drawing. Bring it back to the same place later and compare what you noticed on the two visits.
Bring back a discovery of their own
The next pages can be theirs to fill.
The optional 56-page Field Notebook has 23 pairs of observation logs and sketch pages, with the child's name and home state. A separate softcover, made to take outside.
The notebook is an optional add-on. Styling props are not included.

Before their expedition begins.
Can both grandparents be in one Atlas?
This Atlas supports one child alone or one child with one grown-up: Mom, Dad, Grandma or Grandpa. Choose one grown-up for this edition.
Do the child and grandparent need a photo together?
Use a separate clear photo of each person. They do not need to appear together in one photograph.
Is the grandparent included in the base price?
Yes. Choosing one supported grown-up beside the child does not add a cast fee. The plant pages and separate notebook are optional paid upgrades.
Make room for a little explorer
They already know whose book this is.
A familiar face on the cover. Their state at the end. A whole expedition in between.
