""Amy's Travels is a delightful adventure of a little girl who moves with her family every few years to a different continent. This appealing journey enables children to obtain a broad perspective of the world as seen through the eyes of Amy, the central character. By focusing on each of the seven continents, the reader is able to conceptualize both their vast differences and stark similarities. Beautifully written and magnificently illustrated, Amy's Travels is the perfect selection for teachers when developing children's background experiences for Social Studies at any grade level."" - Dr. Katherine Wisendanger, Professor, Literacy and Culture Program, Longwood University ""Written by second grade teacher Kathryn Starke, Amy's Travels is a softcover children's picture book that invites young readers to accompany Amy along her trip to all seven of Earth's continents. From the rainforest jungles of Africa to the mountains of South America and the cultured cities of Europe, Amy's Travels offers a child's eye view of the delights of encountering new people, places, and cultures. Simple color drawings on every other page add a unique touch of charm to this storybook, especially recommended for sharing with children before a family trip."" -The Midwest Book Review ""Amy's Travels is a wonderful story about a young girl who has visited each of the continents. The story is based on the life of author Kathryn Starke's friend Amy. Not only does this book provide a window into each of the continents, it also provides lesson plans and activities for grades K-5. This book provides an opportunity for students who otherwise would never have the chance to visit any other continent."" - Alison Perry, Elementary School Teacher, Richmond, Virgini
