Summer Reading List from Little Passports

Lazy summer afternoons are made for curling up with a good book and traveling to a faraway land. Little Passports, a global online adventure, has put together some of their favorite books for young readers looking for a traveling adventure. Here are their top three picks…


Little Passports
Everybody Cooks Rice, by Norah Dooley
Carrie’s mother asks her to go out into the neighborhood to find her brother for dinnertime. During her search, she stops by every house on the block and discovers that each family’s dinner includes a customary rice dish of their nationality. Set in San Francisco, this story exposes children to several cultures and their favorite rice dishes, and includes recipes for each meal mentioned, allowing you to bring the story to life in your own kitchen! (Recommended for ages 5-8)

Rickshaw Girl, by Mitali Perkins
This story takes place in 10-year-old Naima’s village in Bangladesh. After riding and wrecking her father’s rickshaw, Naima sets out to find a job to right her wrong. Women are forbidden to work in her village, so she must disguise herself as a boy. Young readers will learn valuable lessons about social equality and bravery as Naima challenges the status quo to help her family. (Recommended for ages 7-10)

Go, Go America, by Dan Yaccarino
Do you know what state hosts the International Rotten Sneaker Contest? Find out the answer from the Farley family.
