ADVENTURE CAN BE FOUND JUST OUTSIDE THE DOOR
A must-have book for kids who love to explore. Written by EXPLORER OF THE YEAR 2023, MBE Preet Chandi.
"This is great, because this [book] is for everybody... kids will love this! I just want to go on an adventure now!" - Lorraine Kelly
Written by world record-breaking adventurer 'Polar' Preet, who has been on adventures all around the world: from navigating 40 days on the Antarctic ice and a 700-mile journey to the South Pole to racing through the deserts of South Sudan.
Preet shares tales of her own expeditions, big and small, as well as practical things kids can do, to inspire her readers to try new things and have their own adventures (even on their doorsteps!). Whether they want to learn how to camp in the wild, navigate their way through a new landscape, master bushcraft skills or plan a polar expedition, this book will show them how to do it.
Plus, each chapter has a mini challenge for young explorers to try at home, from learning how to read the stars to building a den. All these skills will help children to push their boundaries, build a resilient explorer mindset and get outdoors. And with fun black and white illustrations, having an adventure couldn't be easier!
Children will want to grab a copy, step outside and start creating their own adventure stories.
