Our California

The striking illustrations in this book by illustrator Rafael Lopez sing off the page. Great for school kids who might be traveling to a different part of California, this book provides a child’s tour through the state, starting in San Diego. It introduces kiddos to our state’s regions, major cities, and awesome landmarks through rhyming text. For the kid who loves to learn in depth, the back of the book is a great resource packed full of facts to read more about each region and also explore the state’s symbols and history.
