The Bucket List Family: And the Big Adventure

This inspiring story from the celebrated Bucket List Family—globe-trotters who have visited more than 100 countries and counting—encourages young readers and their families to seek adventure and create special memories wherever they are.

Dorothy Gee loves adventure days with her family. They’re the days she, her younger brothers, and her mom and dad spend time together dreaming up adventures big and small—like flying an airplane over the Pyramids at Giza and soaring above the Nile. But as their family life gets busier and busier, they find less time to play adventure. Then one Saturday, her life changes forever: Mom and Dad roll out a map and ask Dorothy and her brothers, “Where should we go this time?”

Their minds run wild: Go sledding down a mountain! Practice cannonballs in a lake! Eat pizza in Italy! See hippos on safari in Tanzania! The biggest surprise comes next: "What if we make these adventures happen, for real?"

Heartwarming and wholesome, this charmingly illustrated tale of one imaginative family will inspire others to find joy in play, dream big, and most important, find new ways to make memories together.
