PreS-Gr 1–Inspiring internet sensation Curry is back with another engaging and relatable story. Parker and her family are preparing to visit Papi and Nana, who live in Portugal.

They soon land at their destination, where Papi and Nana are waiting. Subsequent pages chronicle the joyful trip filled with outings to town, exploring the beach, boat rides, trying new treats, and even a visit to a castle in nearby Spain. As they reach the end of the trip, the family promises to visit again soon. Sentences range from three to 16 words, with two to four sentences per spread.

Charming illustrations are cartoonlike and depict Parker and her family thoroughly enjoying both their trip and each other’s company. Back matter includes ideas and inspiration for readers to create adventure journals.
