In an ordinary town, with an ordinary family, Aarshawn Dinwiddie is anything but ordinary. One wish sends him on an unforgettable journey: he transforms into a horse and gallops muzzle-first into adventure. In this deluxe, fully illustrated advanced picture book for ages 6-9, imagination opens wide as Aarshawn travels across five continents, discovering world landmarks, new landscapes, and new ways to say hello.
From racing alongside wildebeests in Africa to climbing temple steps in Greece, Aarshawn encounters wonder at every turn. Along the way, he learns something even more meaningful: the bravest journey is not only about what you become, but about daring to dream and following where your heart leads.
Centered on a gleeful, creative African American boy from a diverse, loving mixed-race family, eleven foreign-language greetings, an illustrated world map, and Aarshawn's personal Field Notes, The Extraordinary Adventures of Aarshawn Dinwiddie is a keepsake adventure for read-aloud family time and for independent readers ready for a bigger, brighter kind of picture book.
