Welcome to Letters From Afar, the ongoing story of an explorer traveling the world. Each month, open your mailbox to find a letter addressed to you. Accompanied by vibrant illustrations, field notes, and a map, your monthly letter will whisk you away on a literary adventure to a land far, far away.
