Strong Girls Travel - by Amy Friedl

Book Synopsis

Strong Girls Travel is a book series showcasing a young girl's adventures in America's National Parks. Each book finds her learning something new about herself, her world, and her part in it all.

In AJ's Adventures at Indiana Dunes, she finally gets to meet up with her favorite cousin after two long years away. But will they still like the same things? What is this 3-Dunes Challenge thing that Charly texted her about? Hiking? Early in the morning? Oh no. Maybe AJ doesn't have as much in common with Charly anymore.

Put yourself in the park through these beautiful photo-based illustrations, all shown through AJ's eyes, as she discovers there might be more to see and learn than she first thought.

Review Quotes

"The Strong Girls Travel series is an inviting and cheerful look at the national parks, as seen through the eyes of a young girl, AJ. Expertly told and wonderfully illustrated, the first book in the series follows two cousins as they go on an unforgettable sunrise hike through Indiana Dunes, fostering the sense of connection and joy that avid park-goers (like yours truly) will find all too familiar. A delightful romp and a must for anyone seeking to inspire a love of the outdoors within their daughters."
