Before you start an adventure, you have to arrive.
In A Traveller's Guide to Rome, young readers are invited to spend a gentle day exploring one of the world's oldest and most fascinating cities, guided by curiosity, friendship, and a willingness to wander.
Lola and her travelling companion Flo arrive in Rome by boat, sailing along the Tiber River in their bright red sailboat and tying up near one of the city's ancient bridges. From there, they set off on foot to see where the day might take them.
They greet the city with a warm breakfast in a busy café, learn their first Italian words, and discover that Rome is full of both grand sights and quiet surprises. They wander through beautiful piazzas, watch fountains sparkle in the sunlight, and step inside a remarkable building with an eye in its ceiling.
Along the way, Lola and Flo explore ancient ruins filled with stories, encounter watchful cats who seem to rule the city, and ride through narrow streets in all sorts of unexpected ways. They toss a coin into a famous fountain, enjoy slices of pizza in the sunshine, and discover that even the oldest places can still feel full of life.
As the day unfolds, Rome reveals itself slowly-through its streets, its sounds, and the people who fill it with energy and warmth. There is time to pause, to look around, and to imagine what the city might have been like thousands of years ago.
As evening arrives, they enjoy a long, relaxed dinner under glowing lights before making their way back along the river to their little red sailboat. With the city still softly alive around them, they settle in for the night, ready for wherever the next adventure might lead.
This book is not a checklist of landmarks. Instead, it shows children how it feels to be somewhere new-how to walk, notice, wonder, and take your time. Big cities can be exciting, but they are also places to rest, to explore at your own pace, and to enjoy the small moments in between.
Written in simple, rhythmic language with gentle humour, A Traveller's Guide to Rome is designed for reading aloud and for young readers who enjoy calm, thoughtful stories. The illustrations and storytelling work together to create a warm sense of place, helping children imagine themselves exploring the city alongside Lola and Flo.
This book is ideal for:
Children aged 4-8
Families who love travel and storytelling
Read-aloud bedtime reading
Young readers curious about the world
Part of the Travel For Little People series, A Traveller's Guide to Rome can be enjoyed on its own or alongside other titles in the collection-each one reminding readers that travel is about curiosity, kindness, and noticing the world around you.
