Buckle your seat belt for a lively trip! Cruise across mountain peaks and sandy shores. Travel to storied landmarks and enchanting sights. Road Trip Carolina is certain to spark wanderlust in the young explorer and cherished memories in those who already know and love North Carolina. A perfect coffee table book, a lovely hostess gift or housewarming.
The book travels across the state through four distinctly wonderful seasons and stops in to visit legendary state sites – like Grandfather Mountain and Biltmore from the Blue Ridge Parkway. It continues through the Piedmont and Sandhills and on to the beach to "bury toes in silky sand" and fly kites at the Wright Brothers Memorial. Energetic, rhythmic, playful and educational, words and illustrations capture the heart and intrigue of this rich and diverse state.
Author Missy Julian Fox says, “So many people have been asking us to do a book about North Carolina! This book captures why we love this state and feel such pride to be a North Carolinian.”
Hillsborough illustrator Elaine O’Neil says, “I have been creating North Carolina scenes for more than a decade now. For me, this beautiful state never fails to fuel inspiration and ignite a creative spark!”
