A heart-warming story
Would you please visit my family?
Dennis and Scott visit Machu Picchu, Peru, during their bicycle ride through the Bolivian Altiplano and share a meal with an indigenous family in a mud hut.

Reading Passport
A free downloadable PDF
The Reading Passport (available on my website for kids) invites students to travel the world in a book. They get a stamp or sticker in their passport for every country they visit via a book, as defined by the author’s country of origin. This activity is designed to foster a lifelong love for reading while building an appreciation for geography, diverse cultures, and, of course, the spirit of adventure.
