Travel is the greatest teacher, revealing countless faces and cultures while uncovering the world around us. For kids, it leaves a lasting impression. 

We are excited to introduce you to a new children’s book, Hop Around by Shvona Chung ($12.95), available soon on Amazon, that is soon to become the summer read of 2025. It teaches children the significance of travel and the beauty of immersing themselves in a new culture. Illustrated by Courtney Huddleston, the vibrant pages will captivate young readers as they embark on a journey of discovery and friendship. The adventures pop off the page and encourage kids to keep reading.

At-A-Glance:

• Hop Around is a travel and adventure journey about a playful group of half-bunny, half-special animal friends who take us around the world where we learn new customs, culture, cuisine, and art. 
• The symbolism of every animal being half bunny is the Shvona’s way of infusing a multi-racial, multi-cultural dynamic where children of diverse cultures and races feel seen and heard. 
• The hoppers take us away on the magical uni-carriage to South Korea, where we meet Goomi.
• Goomi is multi-racial herself and the inspiration for Hop Around is Shvona’s daughter. 
• This story came to life when Shvona realized she wanted to share her love of travel with her daughter. “I want to be responsible for exposing children to the beauty of traveling and how life changing it can be.”
