Rooted in Wonder
Children experience the world with curiosity, imagination, and a natural sense of wonder. We believe those qualities deserve to be nurtured—not only through stories, but through meaningful connections to the places, people, and communities around us.
Through thoughtfully crafted books, illustrations, and educational experiences, Here & There Wonders helps children and families discover that adventure doesn't always require going somewhere new. Sometimes the most meaningful stories begin right where you are.
What We Believe
Young Hearts
Children, and kids at heart, approach the world with curiosity, wonder, and playfulness. We strive to nurture those qualities through stories and experiences that encourage exploration.
Curious Minds
Questions are where discovery begins. We encourage children and adults alike to keep asking "Why?" and to explore the answers together.
Stories
Stories connect us to people, places, and ideas. They help us understand where we've been, where we are, and where we might go next.
Places
Every community has stories worth telling. We begin in Spokane, Washington, while building a model that can celebrate communities anywhere.
Featured Project
GARBAGE GOAT & KID
Our flagship story series features Spokane's Garbage Goat. Meet Kid as he discovers local highlights and seasonal adventures rooted in community, belonging, and discovery.
What began as a single story has grown into a larger vision for helping children connect to place through storytelling.
Wonders Near & Far
Every place has its own stories, landmarks, traditions, and characters waiting to be discovered. As Here & There grows, we hope to continue creating stories that celebrate the people and places that make communities unique, beginning in Spokane and expanding outward through new partnerships, projects, and opportunities.
