During our travels we love to pick up some books—cookbooks for Mama and geographically-themed books for baby. On a trip to Alaska we picked up I Would Tuck You In by Sarah Asper-Smith, showing animals of the northern wilderness. We love to take home a piece of your journey home to add to our library!
