Description

ADVENTURE CAN BE FOUND JUST OUTSIDE THE DOOR

A must-have book for kids who love to explore. Written by EXPLORER OF THE YEAR 2023, MBE Preet Chandi.

"This is great, because this [book] is for everybody... kids will love this! I just want to go on an adventure now!" - Lorraine Kelly

Written by world record-breaking adventurer 'Polar' Preet, who has been on adventures all around the world: from navigating 40 days on the Antarctic ice and a 700-mile journey to the South Pole to racing through the deserts of South Sudan.

Preet shares tales of her own expeditions, big and small, as well as practical things kids can do, to inspire her readers to try new things and have their own adventures (even on their doorsteps!). Whether they want to learn how to camp in the wild, navigate their way through a new landscape, master bushcraft skills or plan a polar expedition, this book will show them how to do it.

Plus, each chapter has a mini challenge for young explorers to try at home, from learning how to read the stars to building a den. All these skills will help children to push their boundaries, build a resilient explorer mindset and get outdoors. And with fun black and white illustrations, having an adventure couldn't be easier!

Children will want to grab a copy, step outside and start creating their own adventure stories.

About the Author

Preet Chandi (Author)

Harpreet Kaur Chandi MBE is a British physiotherapist and British Army medical officer who is the first woman of colour to complete a solo expedition across Antarctica to the South Pole (ending January 2022). In January 2023, she broke the Guinness World Records title for the longest ever solo and unsupported one-way polar ski expedition, travelling 922 miles across Antarctica in 70 days.

She was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2022 Birthday Honours.

She was born in Derby and visits family there regularly.

Aditi Kakade Beaufrand (Illustrator)

Aditi was born in India to a family of artists. Immersed in art, culture, and design from an early age, she pursued illustration professionally after graduating from Rubika Supinfocom. Indian wedding commissions led to a growing social media presence and diverse projects for magazines, and children's books. Now based in France, she's inspired by France's rich heritage, which shapes her bold style.
