“This is” _______
The “This is ________” series of books by Miroslav Sasek are sweet reminders of how beautiful and truly precious a simple children’s book can be! Many of the books in the series have been reissued in the past few years by popular demand as well!
Along with just being a fun way to share the world with little ones, these would also make fabulous souvenirs from travels at home and abroad!

We picked up a ornament for our christmas tree (a new tradition we started on our honeymoon), and also This is San Francisco. We thought childrens books would be a cute way to commemorate our travels together as well as build our future kids library :)
