Archipelago

by Matthew Swanson, Robbi Behr (Illustrator)

Words are wonderful. There are so many words that you might not ever learn them all. But why not learn as many as you can? Some are short and easy to say. Some are long and fill your mouth with mumbles. But you can learn any word in the world if you chop it into little pieces first. This book is full of words - names of places and kinds of boats and things to eat and dinosaurs. And each and every one of them is wonderful.

About the author

Matthew Swanson (and his wife Robbi Behr) are author and illustrator of the critically acclaimed Cookie Chronicles series, The Real McCoys trilogy, and the picture books Sunrise Summer, Babies Ruin Everything, and Everywhere, Wonder. When not advocating for local schools, giving talks on creative entrepreneurship, or running a summer salmon fishing operation on the Alaskan tundra, we live in an old barn on the Eastern Shore of Maryland—making books and raising our four kids.

Matthew and Robbi will spend the 2022-2023 school year crisscrossing the United States in a school bus/tiny home with our four kids, visiting underserved elementary schools in all 50 states (plus DC), and giving away 25,000 free hardcover books to students and teachers from low-income communities.
