Excursions 7

Our flagship folio includes the following ebook journeys: Kumasi (Ghana, Africa), Mawson (Antarctica), Paris (France, Europe), Perth (Australia, Oceania), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil, S. America), Shanghai (China, Asia), and Spearfish (USA, N. America). These stops couldn’t be more different from each other — from a settlement with less than 100 people (Mawson) to the largest city in the world (Shanghai)! Raisa, Hendrix, and Ogul learn secrets from a wide range of wise artisans on the following colorful craft traditions: akua’ba dolls, baguettes, boomerangs, dream catchers, ice sculpture, paper lanterns, and shakers. The printed version of the folio includes two bonuses — a free Map of the World (36 x 24 inches, standard poster frame size) and traveling music (Believe It – a Song for Raisa). You can even shop authentic crafts we’ve procured from the various destinations through the Shop.

How Were Destinations Chosen?

Careful consideration was taken in determining where Raisa and friends will visit and what they will learn.

Four criteria were used:
• Illustrate how a craft found in Raisa’s home was made
• Feature at least one destination per continent (most have five or more)
• Balance dateline cities with more remote excursions
• Survey crafts that are produced from a wide variety of materials

Please note: Our books are not intended to provide in-depth knowledge on Raisa, her friends, the destinations, the ambassador-artisans, and the crafts. They’re designed to pique curiosity and start the conversation. The website is where we dive deeper. We can organize photos, videos, audio, and exhibits online. Packing less into a book saves paper. It also provides flexibility in that website resources can be updated at any time without forcing a new printed edition!

Map of the World

To better visualize the journeys, we’ve prepped a poster (36 x 24 inches). You can order it here. Continents are color-coded. Capital cities are starred. Destinations are numbered and pinned (see below for a list of all 51). Click image to enlarge.
