Traveler, a new and unique children’s book has come out that gives children the flavor of the Caribbean islands. Traveler is an adventuresome hermit crab that visits 14 islands by sailboat, and describes her experiences along the way. Traveler is exposed to the different animals, birds, food, and people as she makes friends at each stop. The book is ideal for reading to very young children and for reading by those in the 6 to 8 age group. The story and the colorful illustrations give wonderful insight into other countries and their cultures and animals. This book is written and illustrated by Laurie Haaselfeldt, a sailor aboard the sailboat Reality Check, currently in anchorages around the USVI and BVI. Get your autographed copy if you see her. Otherwise, order this delightful book from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Books-a-Million.
