Every suitcase has a secret life. Behind the check-in counters and baggage carousels, a whole world of living luggage travels the globe having adventures most people never see.
The Belongings book series brings that world to life for kids: stories that introduce new languages, cultures, and landmarks, ease the nerves of first-time travelers, and turn the airport into the start of an adventure instead of something to dread.
A proper little pilot's bag who's traveled everywhere, and always tries out the local language, mispronunciations and all.
A vintage trunk who's lived in the airport his whole life and loves showing new suitcases the ropes.
Nervous about leaving the comfort of the store she lives in, until Sam shows her how brave she really is.
The elusive stowaway hiding somewhere on every page of Belongings: Peek-A-Bag. Can your kids find him?
Another face from the crew, always ready for the next trip.
Suitcases travel in families too, and this trio never misses a trip together.
Belongings started as an idea Lauren and her mom, Geri, dreamed up together, growing out of Lauren's college thesis: suitcases living their own lives in a whole secret world we never knew existed. For years it stayed just that, an idea, until they met Jill. Her brilliant illustrations were the final piece that finally brought the whole world to life.
Belongings is a family project through and through. Our hope is simple: that Kit, Sam, Amber, and the rest of the crew spark in every reader a love of travel and a hunger for adventure, one story, one stamp, one new place at a time.
