Author Lori Floyd of Weatherly launched her first children’s picture book on Thursday.

“The Adventures of the Explorers’ Club in New York City” is the first book in a series for young explorers emphasizing family-friendly places to visit across all 50 states in the USA.

Readers will learn fun facts about the featured attractions and identify some great photo-taking opportunities throughout the city.

Join the adventures of Skye and Sydney, two young friends who enjoy taking photos and exploring new places. On a trip to New York City with their mothers, the girls discover exciting attractions, such as the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, the American Museum of Natural History, and even the Museum of Ice Cream.

Floyd is a world traveler who has visited all 50 states and 26 countries to date. She enjoys planning trips, capturing photographic memories, and discovering delicious food and exciting adventures along the way.

She holds an M.B.A. from Alvernia University and resides in the beautiful Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania.

“I’ve been working on this book for the last year and I’m proud to share it with many young readers and their families. I hope they are inspired to discover new adventures and capture many photographic memories as I did traveling throughout the USA,” said Floyd.

The book can be purchased on Amazon at https://tinyurl.com/ExplorersClubNYC. A portion of the book proceeds sold throughout 2024 will be donated to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer.
