One Way to Get Your Kids Excited About Travel
Your love of travel can extend to your kids too and Sarbjit Rai’s Elfins in San Francisco is one children’s story that can inspire the little ones to get out there and explore.
Written for her nieces and nephews in London in the hopes that they visit San Francisco one day, Rai tells the story of elfins and fairies living in San Francisco. Two elfin sisters, Amrin and Jaya, discover a baby Princess in Golden Gate Park and must find a way to return her to parents, the King and Queen, who live in the Palace of Fine Arts. They travel all over the city by magic carpet flying through Golden Gate Park, the Japanese Tea Garden, and Marina Beach and get the Princess safely home. It is a story that will fire children’s imagination and make them curious about San Francisco and travel in general.
I was lucky enough to meet the author through a non-profit called Room to Read, which promotes literacy in developing nations. The author will donate all the royalties from sales of this book to Room to Read so that other children like yours can enjoy the benefits of reading. If you have a child or know someone who does, they might enjoy Elfins in San Francisco and with your purchase you will also help another child enrich her education.
