Introducing
Journey to Away
A fun and thought provoking kids book about what really happens to our garbage when we throw it “away”
About the Book
While Journey to Away is designed for children, its message is universal. For kids, parents, and educators, the book serves as a gentle yet urgent reminder that while sustainability starts at home, in our daily habits and choices, the critical understanding of our complex and ever-changing waste system can be nurtured through our child-like curiosities about the way the world works. The book’s sponsor, National Geographic, and its creators hope the book sparks important conversations between generations, leading to real-world actions that create lasting impact.

“This adventure-filled story kept my students engaged during story time and gave us much to discuss. The storytelling is powerful yet accessible for kindergarteners and the illustrations are beautiful.
It's a perfect book for giving kids a behind-the-scenes look at our waste system and a must-read for anyone looking to dip their toe into waste-reduction for kids.”
