Book Description
Marie-Louise Gay and David Homel combine their writing and illustrating talents with their own family memories to produce a very unique travelogue. Family vacations are supposed to be something to look forward to. Unless, that is, your parents have a habit of turning every outing into a risky proposition -- by accident, of course. So instead of dream vacations to Disney World and motels with swimming pools, these parents are always looking for that out-of-the-way destination where other tourists don't go. Their adventures involve eating grasshoppers in Mexico, forgetting the tide schedule while collecting sand dollars off the coast of Georgia, and mistaking alligators for logs in the middle of Okefenokee Swamp. Travels with My Family is told from the point of view of a long-suffering big brother who must fulfill many roles in this eccentric family: keep little brother out of trouble, humor artist Mom, and discourage Dad from pulling out the road map to search for yet another off-the-beaten-track destination. Husband-and-wife team Marie-Louise Gay and David Homel and have combined their prodigious writing and illustrating talents with their own family memories to produce a very different travelogue.

Book Description
Have you ever found yourself, without even realising you'd been lost? From mountain-top Buddhist retreats to Ayahuasca tea parties, alongside a vigorous commitment to exploring myriad therapeutic options that offered a pathway back to herself, Laura Fraser has spent the better part of the last 23 years trying to better understand how she might learn to one day, finally, truly, trust herself. Yet despite years of therapy, meditation, yoga and travels all over the world, in the end she found her greatest inspiration where she'd least expected it: in motherhood. Single motherhood. As Laura navigates the path of a lone parent, she learns not only how to mother her daughter, Eve, but also herself; discovering that motherhood is not a place where we become lost, but is instead a conduit to rediscover who we truly are. The sleepless nights and endless days, the joys of each step forward and lows of each step back; all are beautifully rendered here, as Laura reconnects to part of herself that, amidst the chaos of life, she'd forgotten existed. This is a grown-up, thought-out answer for anyone navigating early parenthood, whilst trying to create a beautiful childhood for their children amidst turbulence that can feel as if it has the power to threaten exactly that. It's a book for those who would like to be reconnect to precious memories, and for all those mothers trying to remember the beauty, resilience and potential in their own hearts.It's a book about finding the truth of self amidst the mundane, magical and intimate moments that make up motherhood. It's about the relationships we nurture, ignore, appreciate, misunderstand or damage with those who are most important to us. Finally, it's a book about the relationship we have with ourselves. Funny, occasionally dark, serene, sometimes angry, but always spiritual and genuine, Travels With My Daughter is a meditative and incisive series of snapshots of the magical moments in our lives that are too often overlooked. It's a book for those immersed in motherhood, struggling in a new relationship, or simply yearning to be reminded of what they already know.

As this modern-day Demeter and Persephone chronicle the richly symbolic and personal meaning of an array of inspiring figures and sites, they also each give voice to that most protean of connections: the bond of mother and daughter.

Book Description
Jenny Sue Kostecki-Shaw's Papa Brings Me the World is a poignant picture book that celebrates the bond between parent and child, and follows their long-distance trip around the world. Most parents drive a car or ride a bus or train to work—but not Lulu’s papa. He navigates mountains, deserts, and oceans, each time returning home with pockets full of treasures. There’s an ancient calculator from China, a musical mbira from Zimbabwe, and a special game from Sumatra. But the best treasures are special stories Papa tells when he comes home—tales of playing peekaboo with rare birds in the Andes and befriending dragons in the Irish Sea. This long-distance love story between parent and child celebrates inclusivity, imagination, and the richness of global cultures. Christy Ottaviano Books

Book Description
A mother, a daughter, and a life-changing adventure around the world . . . Their bestselling memoir, Come Back, moved and inspired readers with the story of Mia Fontaine's harrowing drug addiction and her mother, Claire's, desperate and ultimately successful attempts to save her. Now it's a decade later and Claire and Mia each face a defining moment in her life, and a mother-daughter relationship that has frayed around the edges. At fifty-one, Claire's shed her identity as Mia's savior but realizes that, oops, she forgot to plan for life after motherhood; Mia, twenty-five and eager to step outside her role as recovery's poster child, finds adult life isn't all it's cracked up to be. Determined to transform themselves and their relationship once again, the pair sets off on a five-month around-the-world adventure. What awaits them is an extraordinary, often hilarious journey through twenty cities and twelve countries—one that includes mishaps, mayhem, and unexpected joys, from a passport-eating elephant to a calamitous camel ride around the Pyramids—and finally making peace with their tumultuous past in the lavender fields of France, where they live for the last four months of the trip. Seeing how self-possessed and community-minded twentysomethings are in other countries broadens Mia's perspective, helping her grow, and grow up. Claire uses the trip to examine her broken relationship with her own mother, a Holocaust survivor, and to create a vision for her second act. Watching her mom assess half a century of life, Mia comes to know her as Claire has always known Mia—as all mothers know their daughters—better than anyone else, and often better than themselves. Wiser for what they've learned from women in other cultures, and from each other, they return with a deepened sense of who they are and where they want to go—and with each embracing the mature friendship they've discovered and the profound love they share. Alternating between Claire and Mia's compelling and distinct voices, Have Mother, Will Travel is a testament to the power and beauty of the mother-daughter relationship, one that illuminates possibilities for our own lives.
