While on a three-week road trip with her grandchildren, author Candy Atkinson kept a personal travel diary so they could remember where they went and who and what they saw on their journey. Wanting to provide a place where children could document their own vacation experiences, she created "My Own Travel Journal: Things I Want To Remember" (published by AuthorHouse).
A children's travel journal, the book begins with a few instructional pages that teach children the basics of journal writing. This is followed by a page dedicated to trip notes and then by ample space for children to record their experiences in words and/or pictures. "My Own Travel Journal" includes enough pages for journaling that it can be used for two separate trips.
"Children will gain the benefits of learning to journal. This will be of value in school assignments, essays, composition, as well as being a record of the travels a child takes," Atkinson says.
Although designed for children 8 to 12 years old, the journal is ultimately suitable for all ages. In a digital world, it provides a lasting record of cherished family vacations and memories that won't become lost and forgotten.
