About the series
​​
The Dream Traveler Series is an entertaining, educational, and imaginative children’s book series that takes young readers on unforgettable adventures around the world. Perfect for children who love to learn, explore, and dream big, the series follows a young boy with the extraordinary ability to “dream travel” as he journeys through different countries, cultures, and ways of life.
Along the way, he discovers the beauty of our diverse world while learning meaningful lessons about friendship, family, compassion, and the importance of understanding and respecting people from different backgrounds and cultures.
What adventures await our Dream Traveler next? Will he be able to teach his little brother how to dream travel alongside him? We hope you’ll join us for the journey.
The first two books in the series, Dream Traveler Africa and Dream Traveler South America, are available now. Book 3, Dream Traveler Asia, is currently in the works and scheduled for release in 2027.
