This beautiful book arrived at our store yesterday This beautiful book arrived at our store yesterday. First time I had heard of it. Really beautiful young child version of #malalayousafzai ‘s story. The attack is not detailed, so even a young child could learn from her story without having to be introduced to the horrific details before they are ready. Imaginative and inspirational story by @malala with gorgeous illustrations by @kerascoet_ #inspiringchildrensbooks #bookstagram #learningwithpicturebooks #inspirationalbooks #inspirationalbooksforkids #picturebooks #picturebooksofinstagram

Sounds a lot like #letterboxing & #geogaching! So I checked out the #audiobook from my #library (LOVE the #libbyapp!) and am really enjoying the story! Which got me wondering if a game like this actually existed IRL. Apparently it does! Though it appears to be on hiatus? Anyone know what’s going on if/when it will return? It does look like there are some books to be found still near my area…but I am still investigating. For more info, check out https://bookscavenger.com
