Little Travelers: Six months in Europe with two kids

by William Sullivan, Janell Sorensen

Overview

Oregon's bestselling author and his partner, the artist Janell Sorensen, are coming for half a year to explore Europe from Italy to Norway. But they've also brought their two children, six-year-old Ian and eight-year-old Karen, to experience the Old World by enrolling them in school in a small German town -- with the promise that they'll get to visit Legoland. It's 1989, and with car trips to Tuscany, the Alps, and Communist East Germany, the entire family learns lessons about life abroad.
In a journal enlivened by original pen-and-ink drawings, alternating entries from Bill and Janell reveal different perspectives on the family's adventure.

About the Author

Bill and Janell grew up on the same street in Salem, Oregon. Because they were two years apart in age, they didn’t pay much attention to each other at first. They met again at a neighborhood potluck after Janell had returned from a year as an exchange student in Denmark. Bill had just spent a summer hitchhiking through Europe.
Janell became a preschool teacher and part-time artist. She offered to support Bill for seven years with the agreement that, if he wasn’t making a living as a writer by then, he would have to get a job clerking at KMart.
In 1985 Bill hiked more than 1000 miles acorss Oregon to write a wilderness guidebook. His memoir of that adventure, published as Listening for Coyote, was chosen one of Oregon’s “100 Books.”
Each summer Bill and Janell live at the log cabin that they built by hand in the wilds of Oregon’s Coast Range, more than a mile from roads, electricity, and telephones. The rest of the year they live in Eugene, Oregon.
