Last days in Paradise! #summeraussie #paradise #summerdress #homeiswhereyourparkis
10.02.2024 - Wir haben genau zwei Wochen gebraucht, um unseren Traumcamper zu finden. π (Was wirklich schnell ist, bei anderen sind dafΓΌr 2-3 Monate ins Land gegangen.) An diesem Wochenende waren wir zu erst in Rust um einen Peugeot Boxer L2H2 anzuschauen. Wir waren noch nicht 100% sicher ob es die GrΓΆΓe und LΓ€nge L2H2 oder L3H2 werden soll. Der erste Camper war leider nichts, da er auf den Bildern super aussah und in echt leider total beschΓ€digt. Dann sind wir weiter nach StraΓburg gefahren um einen CitroΓ«n Jumper in gleicher GrΓΆΓe anzuschauen, wurden dann ΓΌberrascht. Der VerkΓ€ufer hat das Fahrzeug bereits verkauft und uns dann einen Peugeot Boxer in L3H2 gezeigt. Wir waren erst ΓΌberrascht, waren aber gleich vom Fahrzeug und der GrΓΆΓe begeistert. Nach einer Probefahrt und einem ausfΓΌhrlichen GesprΓ€ch haben wir das Auto gekauft und mit nach Hause genommen. π€© Es ist also ein Peugeot Boxer L3H2 geworden, Baujahr 2018 - hat 147.000KM und haben ihn fΓΌr statt 11.500β¬ fΓΌr glatte 10.000β¬ bekommen. #camperausbau #vanlife #neueabenteuer #camper #vanlifegermany #reels #reelsinstagram #diycamper #l3h2 #handwerk #homeiswhereyourparkis #travelcouple #projectcamper #vanlifediaries #couplegoals #hausaufrΓ€dern #camperkauf
Wir sind Carina 29 und Marcel 31 und wollen euch auf unserem neuestem Projekt mitnehmen. π«πΌπ οΈ Wir bauen einen Camper um. π Bevor wir loslegen noch ein paar Infos zu uns. Wir haben uns vor knapp 13 Jahren kennen und lieben gelernt. π©ββ€οΈβπ¨ Wir sind mittlerweile seit fast 4 Jahren verheiratet, haben uns einen kleinen Traum von einem Eigenheim erfΓΌllt und vor 4 Jahren ein wunderschΓΆnes Haus π gebaut und sind nun bereit fΓΌr ein neues Abenteuer. Wir wollen mit diesem Camper die Welt bereisen und noch mehr Orte entdecken die wir so noch nicht gesehen haben. π Auf diesem Account erwartet euch der Camper Ausbau Step by Step zum nachmachen, wir sprechen transparent ΓΌber alle Kosten πΆ bis ins kleinste Detail und zeigen euch natΓΌrlich auch welche Materialien ihr benΓΆtigt und wo es diese zu kaufen gibt. π·π» Wir freuen uns diesen Account wie ein Tagebuch zu pflegen und euch auf dem Weg mitzunehmen und mit euch im Austausch zu sein. π€ #camperausbau #vanlife #neueabenteuer #camper #vanlifegermany #reels #reelsinstagram #diycamper #l3h2 #handwerk #homeiswhereyourparkis #travelcouple #projectcamper #vanlifediaries #couplegoals #hausaufrΓ€dern
Excited to see the π»πππ ππ πβπππ πππ’π ππππ πΌπ story on another story trail in a beautiful local park! Thank you to Leitchfield Parks and Recreation and the Grayson County Public Library for choosing our story for your park, inspiring local readers in your community to dream about what their own perfect park would look like! We enjoyed walking the lakeside trail and hosting a storytime with families in your area. #HomeisWhereYourParkis #parksandrecreation #ParksBuildCommunity #childrensbook #childrensbookauthor #readaloud #playfulimagination
Thank you to our friend Gary Reckhart from @gravesgilbert for including the π»πππ ππ πβπππ πππ’π ππππ πΌπ story in welcome baskets for prospective physicians moving to our community! We have tremendous parks here in BGKY, and we are excited to share that in this unique way with people looking to call South Central Kentucky home!

As a kick off to summer, we had the opportunity to hang out and share the π»πππ ππ πβπππ πππ’π ππππ πΌπ story with the @owensboroparks camp program! The department is going through the master planning process to continue serving their community in big ways. We were so glad you chose to use our book as a creative way to get the kids in your community to dream of what they want their Owensboro parks to look like! #HomeisWhereYourParkis #parksandrec #parksandrecreation #ParksBuildCommunity #kidlit #kidlitauthor #picturebookart #childrensbook #childrensbookauthor #picturebook #childrensbookstagram #kidlitpicks #kidlitart #kidsbookshelf #readtogether #bookstagram #kidsbookswelove #readaloud #playfulimagination
Itβs been awhile since weβve posted on social media, but our spring into summer has still been busy! We kicked off summer with our friends from @medcenterhealth Adult Day and @cityofbgky New Adventure Adult Camp visiting the story trail at @warrencountykyparks Basil Griffin Park, featuring our π»πππ ππ πβπππ πππ’π ππππ πΌπ story!

Last Thursday, @wkuhumanresources had a βTake Your Kids to Work Dayβ for faculty and staff at @wku. Amongst the full day of activities kids took part in on The Hill, was a fun activity where the kids got to design their own perfect parks using the π»πππ ππ πβπππ πππ’π ππππ πΌπ story! Thank you to @recmajorwku Dr. Allie McCreary for using our story and including this in the agenda for the day! @wkukrs @chhs_wku @wkualumni #parksandrecreation #perfectparks #dreambig #WKU #homeiswhereyourparkis #playfulimagination #childrensbooks #kidlit
This past Wednesday, I was able to experience another pretty cool full circle moment that I will remember for a long time. Seeing the π»πππ ππ πβπππ πππ’π ππππ πΌπ story on a trail at a place that shaped my childhood and grew the passion I have for parks is pretty neat. One of the places we visited the most when visiting my grandparents here in BG was Paradise Playground at Basil Griffin Park, and I thought it was AWESOME! As a park and rec kid, playgrounds were my favorite thing growing up, and as a young kid visiting from Louisville, this felt like the biggest playground I had ever laid my eyes on. Slides towers that made me feel like I was climbing Mount Everest, swings to help me reach the moon, and so much more! As I have grown up and now am in the field of park and recreation as a professional, it is this same child-like enthusiasm for our industry that I try to bring to work each day. Memories I have as a child at Paradise Playground in Basil Griffin Park are the things that motivate me each day to be at my best, so others can experience this same joy I did as a kid. Thank you to my friends and colleagues at @warrencountykygov Parks and Recreation and the @warrencountypl for making this happen! Be sure to visit this story trail over the next few months and be inspired to dream up your own perfect park!! #HomeisWhereYourParkis #parksandrec #parksandrecreation #ParksBuildCommunity #kidlit #kidlitauthor #picturebookart #childrensbook #childrensbookauthor #picturebook #childrensbookstagram #kidlitpicks #kidlitart #kidsbookshelf #readtogether #bookstagram #kidsbookswelove #readaloud #playfulimagination

We recently visited our friends at @charterseniorliving in Bowling Green KY to share the π»πππ ππ πβπππ πππ’π ππππ πΌπ story, and design our perfect parks!

Started our week off great with a visit to Rockfield Elementary! We read the π»πππ ππ πβπππ πππ’π ππππ πΌπ story and designed our perfect parks by grade level. The amount of imagination and creativity was amazing, and these kids were all excited to dream big of all the amazing things they would put in their parks. I loved getting the opportunity to share this story, and my grandpas legacy, with these young leaders. Looking forward to more visits this spring! #HomeisWhereYourParkis #parksandrec #parksandrecreation #ParksBuildCommunity #kidlit #kidlitauthor #picturebookart #childrensbook #childrensbookauthor #picturebook #childrensbookstagram #kidlitpicks #kidlitart #kidsbookshelf #readtogether #bookstagram #kidsbookswelove #readaloud #playfulimagination
The last couple of weeks have been filled with awesome opportunities to share the π»πππ ππ πβπππ πππ’π ππππ πΌπ story in some of our local schools! Last week, we were a guest author at @tccherryelementary with @bgcityschools for their Family Night! There is certainly more to come this Spring! #HomeisWhereYourParkis #parksandrec #parksandrecreation #ParksBuildCommunity #kidlit #kidlitauthor #picturebookart #childrensbook #childrensbookauthor #picturebook #childrensbookstagram #kidlitpicks #kidlitart #kidsbookshelf #readtogether #bookstagram #kidsbookswelove #readaloud #playfulimagination
Today marks the first day of what is becoming a very exciting 2023 calendar of events for the π»πππ ππ πβπππ πππ’π ππππ πΌπ story. As I reflect on it all this morning, I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity God has given me to use a childrenβs book to not only share my passion for parks, but more importantly share the legacy of who my grandpa was and what he meant to me. He was my greatest role model, biggest supporter, and best friend. I miss the moments in this picture more and more each day, yet I am thankful that with each page turn of this book, I feel connected and close to my grandpa once again. Now, on to do one of the most important things he always taught me; βLets go make someone smile today through parks and recreation!β #HomeisWhereYourParkis #parksandrec #parksandrecreation #ParksBuildCommunity #kidlit #kidlitauthor #picturebookart #childrensbook #childrensbookauthor #picturebook #childrensbookstagram #kidlitpicks #kidlitart #kidsbookshelf #readtogether #bookstagram #kidsbookswelove #readaloud #playfulimagination

We love getting to see π»πππ ππ πβπππ πππ’π ππππ πΌπ on story trails in some pretty awesome parks! Thereβs no better story to read as you walk through a local park than one meant to inspire you to dream up what your own perfect park would look like! Could we see our story pop up in more communities and story trails in 2023?!? We sure hope so! Contact us if interested in adding our book to your communityβs story trail! #HomeIsWhereYourParkIs #parksandrec #storytrail #localpark #kidlit #childrensbooks
This warmer weather has us ready for spring, and more time in our favorite parks! Our spring calendar is filling up with author visits, local festivals, and so much more! We canβt wait to share more of our adventures with the π»πππ ππ πβπππ πππ’π ππππ πΌπ story!

A really cool moment for us to end 2022 on was having Mr. Hancock read our π»πππ ππ πβπππ πππ’π ππππ πΌπ story to some awesome kiddos at Cumberland Trace Elementary, where he was the very first principal when the school opened! Adding to the coolness of this moment was that Mr. Hancock was best friends with my grandpa, who the story was written for and dedicated to! A special moment for all of us for sure! #HomeisWhereYourParkis #parksandrec #parksandrecreation #ParksBuildCommunity #kidlit #kidlitauthor #picturebookart #childrensbook #childrensbookauthor #picturebook #childrensbookstagram #kidlitpicks #kidlitart #kidsbookshelf #readtogether #bookstagram #kidsbookswelove #readaloud #playfulimagination
We always love opportunities to share the π»πππ ππ πβπππ πππ’π ππππ πΌπ story with people everywhere! So, on a recent trip down to New Orleans to watch our @wkufootball Hilltoppers in the @neworleansbowl, we spent the night in the beautiful town of @visitlaureljonescounty MS! We enjoyed a fantastic dinner at @mimmosristorantepizzaria and walking around Downtown Laurel visiting all the awesome shops, parks, and murals. On our way out of town the next day, we decided to drop some signed copies of our book off at the @laureljonescountylibrary.sys and @laurelmercantile (it was Sunday, so the library and store were closed!). We hope that whoever ends up getting to read our story finds themselves inspired to dream up their own perfect park, and see the park as a place full of amazing possibilities! #HomeisWhereYourParkis #parksandrec #parksandrecreation #ParksBuildCommunity #kidlit #kidlitauthor #picturebookart #childrensbook #childrensbookauthor #picturebook #childrensbookstagram #kidlitpicks #kidlitart #kidsbookshelf #readtogether #bookstagram #kidsbookswelove #readaloud #playfulimagination
Heaven certainly gained the sweetest Angel over the Christmas Holiday when our dear friend Travis went to be with Jesus on Christmas Eve. This picture was from our Louisville Book Launch, and we were so glad to share our story with him and so many others who are part of the inspiration behind important parts of the book. To know Travis was to know what genuine love and pure joy for life truly was. Travis had a spirit unlike anyone Iβve ever had the pleasure of being around. His love for the Lord was something that challenged me greatly any time I was fortunate enough to be home and be around him. Travis always ended his prayers in Sunday School class by saying to God, βIf thereβs anything I can do for you, let me know! Amen!β What a wonderful depiction of having a servants heart, always ready to do the things God would have for us to do. I have no doubt in my mind that Travis is right next to Jesus as Heavens newest βGate Greeterβ, welcoming people home with a smile and one of his famous hugs. Please keep his Mom Donna and Dad Wayne in your thoughts and prayers. They have started a foundation in his honor, hugliketravis.com, to continue his legacy of loving others. Head on over to support their efforts and learn more about our buddy Travis. #hugliketravis #HomeisWhereYourParkis #parksandrec #parksandrecreation #ParksBuildCommunity #kidlit #kidlitauthor #picturebookart #childrensbook #childrensbookauthor #picturebook #childrensbookstagram #kidlitpicks #kidlitart #kidsbookshelf #readtogether #bookstagram #kidsbookswelove #readaloud #playfulimagination
Next up in our 2022 year in review, the development of our characters in the story! As mentioned, this story is dedicated to Cameronβs grandpa, Dr. Alton Little. The two shared a special bond centered around the world of parks and recreation. The story is meant to represent that relationship between the two! Our illustrator @keeleyshawart did an incredible job bringing the characters to life! #2022inreview #homeiswhereyourparkis #parksandrec #weloveparks #kidlit #kidlitillustration #kidlitart #childrensbooks #childrensbookillustration #kidsbookstagrammer #kidsbookstagram #bookstagram #kidsbookwelove #goodreads #playfulimagination
2022 was a year to remember for us here at A Little Park Publishing. After all, it is the year that our book π»πππ ππ πβπππ πππ’π ππππ πΌπ came to life! We are so thankful to have had the opportunity this year to share this story dedicated by Author Cameron Levis to his late grandfather, Dr. Alton Little (also the namesake for our publishing pseudonym, A Little Park!). As we close the pages on 2022 and embark on the journey 2023 will have in store, we want to take a trip down memory lane and share some of our favorite moments with you all! First up, the development of our all important, first impression, book cover! As we will do quite often, many thanks to @keeleyshawart for bringing our story to life from cover to end! Sheβs the best! Here is our final cover, plus some of the concepts we worked through with Keeley. #2022inreview #homeiswhereyourparkis #parksandrec #weloveparks #kidlit #kidlitillustration #kidlitart #childrensbooks #childrensbookillustration #kidsbookstagrammer #kidsbookstagram #bookstagram #kidsbookwelove #goodreads #playfulimagination

A little over a year ago, I started typing out bullet points in my phone, mapping out an idea for a childrenβs book dedicated to my grandpa. The first person I read the idea to was my wife Kaitlyn, and immediately sent it to my mom. Crazy to see just how many people since the moment this idea started blooming in my iPhone are now enjoying turning the pages of the π»πππ ππ πβπππ πππ’π ππππ πΌπ story. Excited to see where God takes us on this journey of sharing my grandpas legacy next! #HomeisWhereYourParkis #parksandrec #parksandrecreation #ParksBuildCommunity #kidlit #kidlitauthor #picturebookart #childrensbook #childrensbookauthor #picturebook #childrensbookstagram #kidlitpicks #kidlitart #kidsbookshelf #readtogether #bookstagram #kidsbookswelove #readaloud

Last week at the Annual @ky_rec_park_society Conference in Corbin KY, Author Cameron Levis had the opportunity to lead an education session using his childrenβs book, π»πππ ππ πβπππ πππ’π ππππ πΌπ ! He shared the inspiration behind the story, ways the book can be used as a tool for park advocacy, and then encouraged professionals and students to dream up their own perfect parks! Inspiring playful imagination in the minds and hearts of those attending the session was the goal, and weβd say that was more than accomplished! We are looking forward to more opportunities to use our picture book to develop more inspired park and recreation professionals, and people in communities everywhere! #parksandrecreation #parksbuildcommunity #parksandrec #HomeisWhereYourParkIs #professionaldevelopment #professionallearning #NRPA #KRPS #playfulimagination #education #HomeisWhereYourParkis #parksandrec #parksandrecreation #ParksBuildCommunity #kidlit #kidlitauthor #picturebookart #childrensbook #childrensbookauthor #picturebook #childrensbookstagram #kidlitpicks #kidlitart #kidsbookshelf #readtogether #bookstagram #kidsbookswelove #readaloud

I recently had the opportunity to do a π»πππ ππ πβπππ πππ’π ππππ πΌπ storytime during a local school family night in Plano, TX while visiting family for Fall break. After the reading while signing copies of the book, one of the students sat next to me and began drawing his own βPerfect Parkβ in the back of his book. The excitement the pages of this book inspired in him to dream of all the possibilities the park can have is exactly what I hoped for when writing this story. It is the same inspiration my grandpa instilled in me as a young kid that has led me into a career in Park, Recreation, and Sport. Moments such as this are a true blessing, and a wonderful reminder of my WHY! οΏΌ #HomeisWhereYourParkis #parksandrec #parksandrecreation #ParksBuildCommunity #kidlit #kidlitauthor #picturebookart #childrensbook #childrensbookauthor #picturebook #childrensbookstagram #kidlitpicks #kidlitart #kidsbookshelf #readtogether #bookstagram #kidsbookswelove #readaloud

So we cannot think of better organizations like DSSKY to support as we share that inspiration through the pages of our book! #HomeisWhereYourParkis #parksandrec #parksandrecreation #ParksBuildCommunity #kidlit #kidlitauthor #picturebookart #childrensbook #childrensbookauthor #picturebook #childrensbookstagram #kidlitpicks #kidlitart #kidsbookshelf #readtogether #bookstagram #kidsbookswelove #readaloud

πCELEBRATION TIMEπ We reached a milestone a few weeks agoβ¦500 books sold! When the inspiration for this book came to me last November, I never anticipated weβd be where we are today.

P.S. if you have a copy, please take 5 minutes and leave a review π β‘οΈ https://a.co/d/404HAVS #HomeisWhereYourParkis #parksandrec #parksandrecreation #ParksBuildCommunity #kidlit #kidlitauthor #picturebookart #childrensbook #childrensbookauthor #picturebook #childrensbookstagram #kidlitpicks #kidlitart #kidsbookshelf #readtogether #bookstagram #kidsbookswelove #readaloud
Thank you to the folks at @legacygrovepark in Winchester, KY for having me out this morning for a π»πππ ππ πβπππ πππ’π ππππ πΌπ story time! Hands down one of the coolest park spaces Iβve ever visited. The neat thing about Legacy Grove is it truly is so close to the heart of the π»πππ ππ πβπππ πππ’π ππππ πΌπ story, as a group of kids helped with the design process! Another wonderful opportunity to keep sharing this book and a little more of my grandpa with each page turn! #HomeisWhereYourParkIs #ParksBuildCommunity #HomeisWhereYourParkis #parksandrec #parksandrecreation #ParksBuildCommunity #kidlit #kidlitauthor #picturebookart #childrensbook #childrensbookauthor #picturebook #childrensbookstagram #kidlitpicks #kidlitart #kidsbookshelf #readtogether #bookstagram #kidsbookswelove #readaloud
