Stories kids read. Ideas kids wear. One unforgettable box built around ancient drawings in the desert that no one can fully explain. For the child fascinated by ancient puzzles and unsolved questions.

This book drops children into the Peruvian desert—as seen from an airplane window—to discover giant drawings that have baffled scientists for centuries. They’ll learn words like geoglyph and archaeologist, make predictions about who created them and why, and come away with more questions than answers—and that’s the point.

This hardcover book brings the mystery of the Nasca Lines to life. Children will encounter striking photographs of the vast desert geoglyphs and discover what a geoglyph is, how the Nasca people may have carved these enormous designs without modern tools, and the many theories about why they were created—religion, astronomy, art, or something else entirely. The book goes beyond presenting facts. It encourages children to imagine, predict, and ask questions as they read, fostering curiosity at every turn. A world map helps them locate both Peru and their own home, sparking conversations about distance, time zones, and the possibilities of travel. Activities and word games reinforce new learning, while creative prompts inspire readers to draw, write, and form their own personal connections to the Nasca Lines.

This book pairs seamlessly with the collection and offers families a reason to step away from screens, sit together, and find joy in exploring one of the world’s most enduring mysteries.
