“Experiences are more important than things”
Carolyn Ann Berry is the author of the upcoming book for children and their grandparents: The Curious Kid’s Guide to Big Adventures.
The Curious Kid’s Guide to Big Adventures
The Curious Kid’s Guide to Big Adventures whisks young explorers (ages 8 to 15) into the wild, wonderful, and surprising corners of America. Whether you’re road-tripping or adventuring near home, each of the book’s 16 chapters invites grandchildren and grandparents to wonder, wander, laugh, and learn together. The Curious Kid’s Guide to Big Adventures is not just a book—it’s a passport to memory-making magic.
The Curious Kid’s Guide to Big Adventures and the companion The Curious Kid’s Adventure Journal will debut Fall 2026 on Kickstarter. The book will be available in print, e-book, and (eventually) audiobook formats. The journal will be available in print and e-book formats.


The Curious Kid’s Guide to Big Adventures also unlocks a SECRET PORTAl! Inside the online portal, explorers will discover hidden stories, secret challenges, and more adventures. The journey begins the moment you step through the portal. Every step makes you a stronger, more curious explorer. Only the curious find the portal. Only the brave step through. Only true explorers unlock what comes next.
Corresponding to each chapter in The Curious Kid’s Guide to Big Adventures is a chapter in The Curious Kid’s Adventure Journal. This fun, interactive, keepsake-style journal uses word searches, cryptograms, crossword puzzles, and guided prompts to encourage young explorers to draw, reflect, and record their memories. This tool aids explorers in preserving their adventures while nurturing curiosity, confidence, and connection.
The author also designed The Curious Kid’s Adventure Journal for grandparents. There’s space just for you—a place to capture the moments when you truly see your grandchild. Do the questions they ask make you smile? Does the discovery light up your grandchild’s face? Are the quiet moments you share between activities heartwarming? Record your thoughts and emotions. These simple notes become treasures. One day, when your grandchild has grown and you are a cherished memory, that now adult will open these pages and hear your voice again. They’ll know you were there—present, delighted, and seeing who they were becoming.
The Curious Kid’s Adventure Journal isn’t just about exploring big adventures. It’s about creating memories that last long after the adventure ends.
