Grandma and Grandpa's Traveling House in New Jersey: A Traveling Sarff's Adventure

Grandma and Grandpa's Traveling House in New Jersey is a children's picture book for ages 4-8 that introduces young readers to the history, landmarks, and stories of the Garden State through warm, family-centered storytelling.

In this New Jersey edition, children discover how the state played an important role in America's early history, including having more Revolutionary War battles than any other state and the famous moment when George Washington crossed the Delaware River. Through postcards and conversations with their grandparents, young readers are also introduced to ideas of fairness and freedom reflected in the Bill of Rights, learn about Thomas Edison's inventions, and explore places such as the Delaware Water Gap and the Atlantic City boardwalk. Familiar touches like the inspiration behind the game of Monopoly and encounters with local wildlife such as frogs and raccoons add playful moments along the journey.

Written in a gentle, non-political tone, this full-color book emphasizes learning, curiosity, and intergenerational connection. It is part of a growing state-by-state series designed for library collections and classroom read-alouds.
