Ready to Be Curious and Go Exploring?
Charlie Armadillo’s National Parks Explorer Series takes young readers on adventures through America’s National Parks. Each story combines wildlife, nature, and real places found within the parks, inspiring kids to explore, discover, and experience these incredible places for themselves.
Every book sold contributes to the National Parks Foundation. I have pledged to donate $1 per book annually to NPF. One day, I hope to work with NPS such that 75% of profits can go directly to the parks.
Take the K.I.N.D. Club Pledge
You’ll discover one of Charlie’s goals in the National Parks Explorer series is to honor his K.I.N.D. Club pledge. The pledge is an underlying theme in all of the books published by Red Ribbit Reads. The intention is to motivate kids to get outside and explore the amazing world we live in, be it in a National or State Park, Wildlife Refuge or National Forest. Take the time to observe and appreciate the animals and plants that inhabit the areas you visit, and remember to follow the NPS guidelines of “leave no trace” (leave any area cleaner than you found it).
Kids-in-Nature-Discovery Club Pledge
As a member of the K.I.N.D. Club, I promise to:
- BE KIND to animals, people, and the world around me.
- READ to discover new ideas, places, and possibilities.
- IMAGINE with curiosity, creativity, and a sense of adventure.
- EXPLORE the beauty of National Parks and other outdoor sanctuaries.
- GROW by learning something new, asking questions, and caring for the places and creatures I discover.
BE KIND. READ. IMAGINE. EXPLORE. GROW!
Every adventure is a chance to learn, discover, and make a difference! Be curious and GO EXPLORING!
