Let's discover together with Aya and Bobby! A wonderful way to learn about new countries and cultures whether you want to widen the boundaries of your children, planning a trip or a way to remember your time in the region.Aya and Bobby are siblings who love discovering and travelling to new places. They learn so much when they're away. On this adventure to Thailand, Aya and Bobby discover the bustling city of Bangkok travelling by Tuk Tuk and long-tail boat. They also spend time on one of the gorgeous beaches of Thailand and enjoy the activities and sites with ice cream, shark spotting and making new friends. This adventurous book is a lovely addition to those that have been inspired by classics such as 'This is London', 'This is New York', 'This is Paris' by Miroslav Sasek, and ofcourse 'The Wonderful Adventures of Nils' by Selma Lagerlöf. Let's discover together! "This book is a terrific primer for children traveling to Thailand. The story perfectly illustrates the excitement of going on a plane trip to a foreign country and will help children prepare for each step of their journey. The illustrations are vivid and colorful. Children will enjoy pointing out the details in the illustrations, including the delicious-looking food and sweet animals and fish. Even adults will learn a thing or two about Thailand's friendly people and beautiful national treasures. Recommended for children traveling to Thailand, or for those who have the hearts of world-travelers!" - The Children's Book Review "I also appreciate how relatable Aya and Bobby are. My kids were excited to not only share the relative ages of Aya and Bobby, but they also have the same pajamas. In the same color. The book gives a realistic view of what a trip to Thailand looks like for kids. I like the combination of the many unfamiliar new sites, with the reminder of the familiar activities kids have even though they're far from home. The stop at the beach and to eat ice cream adds a realness. This is what family vacation is all about. It's about finding a way to make it enjoyable for all everyone. It's not just an endless loop of learning and discovering. Don't get me wrong, learning and exploring are vital aspects of traveling. However, it's nice for kids to see that they can still do things, like eat ice cream or learn to fly a kite, while on vacation. Still, the book succeeds at discovering Thailand, too. Kids will learn about the transportation, popular sites, animals, and activities that Thailand is known for. Use it as a jumping point for learning more about the country. I have some links below that work to gain further information about some of those things." - Kids' Travel Books Author and Creator Christina Kristoffersson Ameln considers travel and discovery books for children a wonderful opportunity to share corners of the world to all that enjoy, want to, and dream of discovering new places. It is also a wonderful way for her to connect with her two young children by reading and encouraging their curiosity.    Illustrator Seonaid MacKay partnered on the Thailand book. Her background from the Glasgow School of Art and The Royal College of Art with her personal style of illustrations was the right mix to bring alive the Thailand journey.    Illustrator Melissa Baker Nguyen from Canada gave the 'Aya & Bobby Discover Vietnam: Land of the Ascending Dragon' book a big wave of positivity very matched with her personality. Having lived in Vietnam the last two years, Melissa could relate very closely to the characters' experiences having lived them herself.  They all feel that travel books for children are important as it fosters interest in other people and places from all around the world.
