Kids & Teens

To celebrate our national parks, children's author-illustrator Martha Day Zschock has created Journey Around Our National Parks, a hardback book for everyone. Discover the fascinating story of the preservation of over 400 special places in our country, including: Yellowstone, the Great Smoky Mountains, Mount Rushmore, the Florida Everglades, and the historic sites in our nation's capital.

Designed to introduce kids to our national parks as if they are on a field trip, Zschock's whimsical, detailed illustrations and meticulously researched history -enhanced by quotes from prominent nature lovers- will captivate children of all ages, from the youngest lap-reader to the adults who read to them. The book has been aimed at the fourth grader, helping to support the Every Kid in a Park initiative, but is suitable for children ages six and up.
