Not intended as a book at the time of the writing, the intimate and poignant story details the family’s travels through Europe, the Middle East, and into Asia, challenging preconceptions about different cultures and illuminating how one-year-old Zerky had a magical effect on everyone they met along the way. The book features maps and pictures of the trek yet is more than just a travelogue; Zerky and his mother died shortly after the trip and this narrative serves as tribute to their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nickelodeon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47010025013488,"sku":"9780982138410","price":14.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780982138410_p0.jpg?v=1763880621","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780982138410","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
