Synopsis

SoCal So Cool Travel Book is the ultimate travel keepsake book for grade school age kids living or visiting the Southern California area. This book explores in artistic detail 26 of SoCal's most appealing attractions for kids including amusement parks (Six Flags Magic Mountain, Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Legoland, Universal Studios, Sea World and others), scenic horseback riding trails, fantastical structures such as the Griffith Observatory and the Getty Center, historic Hollywood monuments, holiday decoration displays in Beverly Hills, iconic sports arenas and statues, some of the greatest beaches in the world and even an island to explore (Santa Catalina Island).

Each artistic attraction features a short description as well as fun and quirky things to do while visiting. Additionally, similar to a passport, each attraction in the book has a "been there done that" open date stamp to help keep track of memories of places visited.

About this title

From the Author

About Ryan Rector
Ryan is a sixth grader in the greater Los Angeles area who has big dreams of becoming a singer, actor, President of the United States and first person to visit Mars. Yes, she knows that those are a lot of jobs but she figures that if she lives a long life, she'll have plenty of time to do them all.
So, since Ryan doesn't have aspirations of being a writer then you may ask why is she writing books with her father? Well, she loves it because it's super fun. Writing books is just like writing songs and scripts. You have to think of a title, a beginning, a middle, and an ending. So, she figures all of this book writing will help her aspiring acting and singing career.
Currently, she is working on her first chapter book centering around candy and healthy foods. 
Ryan has been featured in several media outlets for her books including ABC7 Los Angeles local news as well as numerous book review sites.
So, that is pretty much all about Ryan. We hope you enjoy our books and keep your ears out for her singing.


About Clarence Rector
Clarence is a son, husband, and father. This joint venture to write books with his little girl, Ryan, is one of his greatest joys and accomplishments in life.
Clarence has primarily served in executive management roles throughout his career in the staffing, media, publication, and healthcare industries. However, as life changes, he began to find joy working with children with special needs as a practicing Speech-Language Pathologist. One of the perks of his current job is that he gets to "test" out all of Ryan's ideas for books with the children who receive therapy from him. That's called a double win.
